2016-17 UEFA Champions League Round Round of 16 Second Leg Borussia Dortmund Vs Benfica Germain Wednesday March 08,2017

In the first leg Benfica beats Borussia Dortmund 1-0

Benfica travel to Dortmund for the second-leg of their last-16 tie with a one-goal advantage courtesy of Kostas Mitroglou's strike in Lisbon.

But the Portuguese side have a record of 14 defeats and just two victories in 22 European games on German soil.

"It would be very bad if we didn't make it," said Papastathopoulos.

Dortmund will be without winger Marco Reus who tore his left hamstring in Saturday's 6-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

"I'll have to keep my fingers crossed from the stands. I don't think we have to change much - just score a few goals," said Reus.

Dortmund, who sit third in the Bundesliga, are also without long-term absentees Sven Bender, Sebastian Rode and Mario Gotze, who has been ruled out indefinitely with a metabolic disorder.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Benfica to ease into the Champions League QF's

The hosts trailed 1-0 on aggregate from the first leg but Aubameyang levelled the last-16 tie after just four minutes with a header at the back post.

Winger Franco Cervi twice came close to scoring a vital away goal for Benfica before the interval.

But Dortmund took control after Christian Pulisic scored on 59 minutes.

The 18-year-old winger brilliantly chipped onrushing goalkeeper Ederson after being slid in by Lukasz Piszczek.

Aubameyang, who missed a penalty in the first leg in Lisbon, then swept in Marcel Schmelzer's low cross two minutes later before an unmarked Marc Bartra hit the post from a corner.

The Gabon striker completed his treble with five minutes remaining as he turned in Erik Durm's sublime pass.

Dortmund have now lost only one of their last 12 European home matches under coach Thomas Tuchel as they reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2014.
