Juventus have made it once again to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and they have to thank Carlos Tevez's input for their place among Europe's final eight teams. The Argentinian striker put his name up on the scoreboard twice, giving the Vecchia Signora some room to breathe while eliminating Borussia Dortmund.
Tevez scored his first dinger after just three minutes of playing time, giving Juve an aggregate lead of 3-1. El Apache showed off his passing skills by setting up Alvaro Morata's goal, and called it a night with the game's third goal just when the game neared its final stretch. Tevez became the first Juventus player to score a brace during a Champions League knockout round since Filippo Inzaghi, who did it back in 1999.
Tevez scored three of Juve's five goals in this Round of 16 matchup against Dortmund, and earned quite a few praises for his performance. Read some of them below!
Tevez a player who doesnt cover too many head lines but performances everywhere and he even spoke italian after the game.. Unbelievable

Carlos Tevez for £10m is the bargain of the century for a player of his caliber. What a player.
