After Bayern Munich took Barcelona
apart on Tuesday, Wednesday night saw Borussia Dortmund dominate Real Madrid
in a manner few thought possible, given the legendary cussedness of
their coach, Jose Mourinho.
An incredible, scarcely believable
four goals from Robert Lewandowski sealed the deal, but this was no mere
one-man show.
Dortmund won the midfield, the defensive battle, had the
better goalkeeper and Lewandowski was head and shoulders the best
forward on the field, closely followed by team-mate Marco Reus.
It
comes to something when Germans give up the right to take a penalty,
but Dortmund’s nationals stood aside for Lewandowski to claim number
four.
It is hard to imagine Madrid have a
way back from here, needing to win 3-0 to progress on away goals. It is
not impossible, but it is unlikely.
For the plain fact is that Borussia
Dortmund are a better team than Real Madrid. They were last night, and
they have been this season. Madrid have played Dortmund three times in
this campaign, losing twice and drawing once. The aggregate score
between the clubs reads Borussia Dortmund 8 Real Madrid 4.
