Dortmund (dpa) - double in the first leg, two goals in the second leg - thanks to the force of nature Erling Haaland, Borussia Dortmund is among the best eight teams in Europe for the first time in four years.
Just like three weeks ago in Seville, the Norwegian struck 2-2 (1-0) in the second round of 16 duel with the Spaniards in an inimitable manner (35th / 54th penalty kick).
The top scorer in the Champions League with ten goals now not only brought the Revierclub a great gain in prestige, but also additional bonus money of 10.5 million euros.
The goals against Youssef En-Nesyri (69./Foul penalty and 90. + 6) brought Dortmund after the 3: 2 in the first leg no longer critical.
Three days after the 2: 4 in the Bundesliga at Bayern, BVB was put under heavy pressure in the early stages.
Shortly before the game, coach Edin Terzic warned of the “very dangerous” European Cup specialists who were trying with all their might to make up for the deficit from the first leg.
BVB goalkeeper Marwin Hitz was challenged by Lucas Ocampos with a long-range shot in the 3rd minute, Suso's attempt just missed (18th).
Terzic was not at all satisfied on the sidelines.
In the build-up of the game, BVB, who had to do without several top performers, initially lacked a clear line and calm.
Jadon Sancho's pace was sorely missed, and Raphael Guerreiro and Giovanni Reyna also failed to get fit in time.
Captain Marco Reus was ordered to the left by Terzic.

After half an hour, BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke sat stoically with his arms crossed in the stands.
Then, out of nowhere, BVB took its first chance to lead.
After conquering the ball in half of the Spaniards, Reus carefully put Haaland in the middle, who also scored a goal in his sixth premier class game this season.
The young Norwegian took Reus in his arms with jubilation.
The guests, who had recently lost three competitive games in a row, reacted annoyed.
The record winner of the small European Cup (UEFA Cup and Europa League) now needed three goals to advance, but did not create any clear chances before half-time.
BVB, on the other hand, came closer and closer to the first quarter-finals since 2016/17, when the Revierclub was eliminated in the worst circumstances of the bomb attack on the team bus against AS Monaco.
Shortly after the restart, referee Cüneyt Cakir and his team added another curiosity to the story of the video evidence.
The referee whistled the alleged and probably after offensive foul, scored 2-0 by Haaland and instead gave BVB a penalty for a foul almost a minute earlier.
Yassine Bounou saved Haaland's penalty as well as a margin (52.).
Because Sevilla's goalkeeper had moved off the line too early, the penalty was repeated - and Haaland scored.
The BVB striker saw yellow for the unsportsmanlike gesture of jubilation in the direction of Bounou (55th).

En-Nesyri converted safely and caused a brief high tension seconds before the end.
