DORTMUND, Germany (AFP) – Poland striker Robert Lewandowski netted all four goals as Borussia Dortmund claimed a 4-1 win over Real Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final, first-leg to boost the chances of an all-German final at Wembley on May 25.
After Bayern Munich routed Barcelona 4-0 on Tuesday night in the first semi-final, Dortmund followed the Bundesliga champions’s example 24 hours later by flooring Jose Mourinho’s Real.
Just as Lionel Messi had failed to shine for a subdued Barcelona at Bayern on his return from a hamstring injury, so Real star Cristiano Ronaldo was fairly anonymous after scoring at Dortmund as Real produced a below-par display.
