Haaland netted a brace as Dortmund drew 2-2 with LaLiga
visitors Sevilla in an absorbing clash on Tuesday but advanced to the Champions
League quarter-finals 5-4 on aggregate.
In-demand Dortmund star Haaland – who has been linked with
the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United,
Barcelona and Juventus – became the quickest player to 20 Champions League
goals after reaching the milestone in his 14th game in the competition.
Aged 20 years and 231 days, Haaland also became the youngest
player to score in six consecutive Champions League matches, while he is the
first player in the history of the competition to score at least two goals in
four consecutive appearances.
"It's been turbulent. We are just happy. It feels
really cool," Terzic told reporters post-match.
"It's not a matter of course for us to get this far.
Now to be among the best eight in Europe makes us very happy. Erling Haaland is
just outstanding."

Led by Haaland, Dortmund will now feature in the Champions
League quarter-finals for the first time since 2016-17 after eliminating the
Europa League holders.
Reflecting on the result, Terzic added: "As a little
boy my dream was getting old with football. At the moment I have the feeling I
am getting old because of football. It was nerve wrecking.
"But we had a lot of energy even offside the pitch with
the whole staff, the bench, the few guys in the stands were enthusiastic as
well. Everyone wanted to help the team. It was difficult often but it
worked."
