Berlin - Marco Reus' decision to commit to Borussia Dortmund was a catalyst to reviving the Bundesliga strugglers' form ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash at Juventus, according to defender Neven Subotic.
Serie A leaders Juventus are clear favourites for the last 16, first-leg clash, but Borussia are buoyed by three straight league wins since Germany star Reus signed a contract extension on February 10 to keep him in Dortmund until 2019.
Despite qualifying for the Champions League's last 16 as group winners ahead of Arsenal, a dire series of results in the first half of the season left Dortmund bottom of Germany's Bundesliga at the start of the month.
