Borussia Dortmund have shown two faces this season, with their lacklustre domestic form in stark contrast to their scintillating European run, which they hope to extend against Benfica in the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday.

Greece international forward Kostas Mitroglou made it 12 goals in as many games while Andre Carrillo scored for the first time since August.
