If Real Madrid
are to progress to the final of the Champions League they'll have to
overturn a 4-1 deficit from the first leg, though will have the home
crowd behind them at the Santiago Bernabéu. After being shocked by a
brilliant Borussia Dortmund last week, it'll be a tough ask.
Robert Lewandowski netted all
four goals in an astonishingly good performance, which has given
Dortmund a great chance of reaching their first Champions League final
since 1997, when they saw off Juventus 3-1 to lift the trophy. Cristiano Ronaldo's away goal has given the Spaniards some slight hope of getting back into the tie, but their chances are hanging by a thread.
Real Madrid come into this on
the back of a confidence-boosting derby win against Atlético Madrid,
with that victory almost certainly securing second place in La Liga for Los Merengues. Dortmund's recent domestic form has been more impressive; they've won six games consecutively in the Bundesliga.
