(Reuters) - Attack-minded Borussia Dortmund, who lit up the Champions League with some memorable performances in the past four seasons, bowed out of Europe indefinitely, ironically hit by a goal drought.

Their 3-0 loss to Juventus on Wednesday saw them eliminated from the competition's round of 16 with a 5-1 aggregate defeat with their Champions League run, that also included the 2013 final, now put on hold for at least one season.
