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 forLos Merengues. Dortmund's recent domestic form has been more impressive; they've won six games consecutively in the Bundesliga.
