Wembley could host an all-German final, the first in history. The first round of the clash between the Germans and Spain, awaiting the return in a week, ended with a thunderous 8 to 1 for the Germans, who put a serious risk on the passage of the round.
After Barcelona, Real Madrid also capitulated under the weight of 4 goals, crashing into the home of Borussia Dortmund. For Mourinho, the possibility of stopping, once again, in the semifinals, one step away from the finish line, is becoming more and more concrete. Compared to Barcelona, however, at least Real struggled and scored a goal, with the ever-present Cristiano Ronaldo, who keeps a faint flame of hope burning.
Star performer of the evening was Robert Lewandoski, author of all four goals with which Borussia bent the blancos. The 24-year-old Pole showed a repertoire as a pedigree bomber, capable of scoring with coolness and timing, power and precision: market rumors want him very close to Bayern, as well as the elf Mario Gotze, who has already signed with the Bavarians.
And precisely on the axis between the two, with the collaboration of Reus, Borussia built their first goal after only 8 minutes. The yellow and blacks imposed a frantic pace on the match, risking something only in moments of physiological decline, such as the end of the first half, when Ronaldo, taking advantage of a blunder by Hummels, deceives Mourinho by sealing the equalizer.
In the second half it was a monologue from Borussia and, indeed, from Lewandoski, who scored three goals between 51 and 66, closing the game at 4-1 and leaving only a tiny crack open for an improbable remuntada.
