The Polish striker put in one of the performances of the season as he re-wrote the history pages, scoring four goals against an outclassed Los Blancos.
In probably the finest football spectacle in the recent UEFA Champions League season, former German champions Borussia Dortmund hosted 9 times European cup winners Real Madrid at the Signal Iduna Park on a fine Wednesday night.
The stage was set for a perfect semi final first leg as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 for the second night running.
In the earlier episode of the clash between the two European international powerhouses, Bayern Munich battered http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in an astonishing manner, defeating them 4-0 at the Allianz Arena on the previous night. The clash between
Barcelona and the Bavarian giants was also the semi final of the UEFA Champions league and it was the red flag that flied high in the night.
Bigger hopes were associated with the Los Blancos against the German outfit this time out as Madrid were labelled as the favourites for the overall tie.
A war of words between Mourinho and Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp had even heightened the anticipation of the match and in a surprise turn of events, it was Dortmund who gave Madrid all the scares.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 was the star of the show as he netted in 4 times to become the first player ever in the history of the game to have scored 4 goals against the mighty Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Lewandowski opened the scoring early in the first half, only for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 to level matters up in the closing stages of the first half, becoming the only player in the Champions League history to have scored in 6 consecutive
games.
However, it was the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 international and not the Portuguese captain who picked up things where he had left them, netting in three times in the second half without any reply from the Spanish giants.
The balance of the tie has surely shifted in the lap of the Germans and it now takes a miracle by the Madrid side to climb their way back up the ladder to claim the crown that they have pursued for so long.
