Real Madrid lost Tuesday’s match 0-2 but survived a huge scare to progress through to the Champions League semi-finals as Borussia Dortmund fell just short of a stunning second-leg fightback.
Dortmund had it all to do after losing the first leg 3-0 in Spain but last season’s runners-up looked on course to stage a remarkable comeback when, after seeing Madrid winger Angel Di Maria miss an early penalty, they scored twice through Marco Reus in the first half.
The German side continued to throw everything at Madrid in the second half, hitting the woodwork and going close on a number of other occasions, but they could not find the third goal they needed as Carlo Ancelotti’s men held on for a 3-2 aggregate win.
