Marco Reus optimistic over quarter-final hopes

Borussia Dortmund ace Marco Reus has insisted that a place in the quarter-final of the Champions League is still up for grabs despite Tuesday's 2-1 first-leg defeat at Juventus.

The German was on hand to cancel out Carlos Tevez's opener, but Alvaro Morata struck to give the Italian champions a narrow advantage ahead of the second leg at Signal Iduna Park.

"We know we can defend better than we did ahead of the two goals we conceded," he told reporters. "Now we have to fix this in the second leg.

"Our goal didn't give us as much confidence as we thought it would. In the second half we were not dangerous enough, but everything is still up for grabs in this tie."

The tie resumes in Germany on March 18.
