Good evening and welcome to our live text coverage of tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg between Borussia Dortmund and Malaga at Signal Iduna Park. The tie is finely poised following a goalless draw in the first-leg in Spain last week.

Yet more from Twitter: Marcus Yoon aka @ironcub14 is tipping Dortmund to progress - but with a heavy heart! He says: "I'm predicting 2-0, but I'll be hoping for a 1-1 as a La Liga fan. With Pellegrini and lightning, Malaga must be down..."

STAT ALERT: Roman Weidenfeller and Marcel Schmelzer have played every minute of Dortmund's CL campaign so far - both start tonight.

This is the fourth time Dortmund have faced Spanish opponents in this season's CL. Aside from the 0-0 draw in last week's first leg, they also beat Real Madrid 2-1 at home and drew 2-2 in the Bernabeu on their way to topping Group D. The win over Jose Mourinho's men was their first triumph against a Spanish team in six home games (following three draws and two defeats).

PHOTO - more from Twitter: @BVB have tweeted an image of the crowd slowly streaming into the Signal Iduna Park. "We are sooo ready!" The excitement is tangible.

In tonight's other Champions League quarter-final, Galatasaray are aiming to pull off a minor miracle and overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Real Madrid.

Robert Lewandowski is the only player from either team to feature in the top 10 leading goalscorers list for this season's Champions League. The big Pole has five to his name. Isco and Eliseu are Malaga's leading marksmen with three.

A short statistical comparison of the two sides for you - GOALS SCORED: Dortmund 16-14 Malaga.... ATTEMPTS ON TARGET: Dortmund 84-53 Malaga.... YELLOW CARDS: Dortmund 7-21 Malaga.... RED CARDS: Dortmund 0-0 Malaga.

More from Twitter: @WhoScored says: "Only 4 teams (Milan, Olympiakos, Celtic, Cluj) have averaged less possession in the CL this season than Borussia Dortmund (44.3%)."

Meanwhile, in the absence of Pellegrini, Malaga defender Martin Demichelis was thrust into the media spotlight. He told reporters: "We would like to win this one for [Pellegrini]. We are all sad. He did not tell us at first about his father passing away, that shows his greatness. We have offered him our condolences. We will try everything to go through for him. It is quite possible that this will not be over after 90 minutes. It might play into our hands but there's no way we will play for 0-0."

So what's the pre-match natter? Dortmund coach, Klopp feels his team need to show more patience in the second leg following a frustrating encounter in Spain. He told his pre-match press conference: "Our big mistake in the first leg was not squandering chances, but how we reacted to it. You could see it irritated us and that only strengthens your opposition. We have to do better than that and I believe we will. The atmosphere was really good in Malaga, but I am convinced we can top it."

On Twitter @optaJose has tweeted this gem of a fact: "0 - Malaga are the only team yet to concede a first-half goal in the #UCL this season. Rocky."

Pellegrini has exceeded all expectations by leading Champions League minnows, Malaga to the cusp of the last four. How has he done it? La Liga expert, Andy Mitten offers some insight into what makes the Chilean tick in this great BLOG.

Will Dortmund continue their irrepressible home form and book a last four spot - or can Malaga pull off a shock for Pellegrini? Share your views on Twitter and we'll include the best in this live commentary.

Meanwhile, Dortmund's crown as German champions slipped at the weekend as Bayern Munich's victory saw them land the Bundesliga title in record time. Jurgen Klopp's side still managed a 4-2 home win over Augsburg with an understrength XI and are now setting their sights on a first CL semi-final appearance in 15 years.

Pellegrini made the journey back to Europe earlier today and met up with his team ahead of what is surely the biggest game in their history to-date.

Los Boquerones endured a nerve-wracking trip up to the Basque country on Friday when their aircraft was struck by lightning THREE times. They then succumbed to a 4-2 defeat to Sociedad before taking a separate route home to coach Manuel Pellegrini, who flew back to Chile for the funeral of his father.

Dortmund make two changes from last week's goalless first leg after resting several star names at the weekend. The big news is that Jakub Blaszczykowski makes his long-awaited return in place of Sebastian Kehl. Sven Bender is also recalled as Kevin Grosskreutz drops to the bench. As for Malaga they make three changes - two enforced due to the suspensions of Weligton and Manuel Iturra. In come Sergio Sanchez and Ignacio Camacho while Duda replaces Javier Saviola.

It's been a difficult run up to tonight's match for Malaga involving lightning, a death and a La Liga defeat at fourth-placed Real Sociedad. The result leaves them in sixth spot, four points adrift of a Champions League berth.
