Tuchel: Dortmund need Aubameyang's goals, defending and music

The Gabon international has scored seven in as many games in the Champions league and the coach admits their hopes of progressing depend on him

Thomas Tuchel feels Borussia Dortmund need Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in top form both on and off the pitch if they are to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League at the expense of Monaco.

The prolific attacker played a key role in his side's round-of-16 win over Benfica with a hat-trick in their 4-0 second-leg win, taking his tally to seven goals in as many European games this term.

Tuchel is adamant there is more to Aubameyang than just goals, though, and has hailed his positive influence off the pitch, too.
