VAR then awarded a penalty to Chelsea after Marius Wolf handled Ben Chilwell’s cross in the second half, Havertz missed by hitting the post.

However, another VAR review found a few Dortmund players had encroached into the box before Havertz hit the ball.

This led to Makkelle ordering a retake, which the Germany striker converted to send his team into the quarterfinals by a 2-1 aggregate score.
