Chelsea fullback Marc Cucurella was named man of the match after their Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund.

Th e 2-0 result sees Chelsea reach the quarterfinals 2-1 on aggregate.

The UEFA Technical Observer Panel judged Cucurella best afield in a personal triumph for the Spaniard who has been mercilessly barracked by fans, teammates and even co-owner Todd Boehly this season.
