Borussia Dortmund Thrashes Real Madrid 4-1 in Champions League Semi-Final
Lewandowski Scores Four Goals in Dominant Performance
Dortmund, Germany
Borussia Dortmund put on a stunning performance in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, romping to a 4-1 victory at home on Wednesday.
Robert Lewandowski was the star of the show, scoring all four goals for Dortmund. The Polish striker's first three goals came in the first half, giving Dortmund a commanding 3-0 lead at the break. He added his fourth goal in the second half to seal the victory.
Real Madrid struggled to keep up with Dortmund's intensity and pressing. The Spanish giants were also handicapped by the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was serving a one-match suspension.
The result leaves Dortmund in a strong position heading into the second leg at the Bernabeu next week. They will need to avoid defeat to progress to the final.
