Lewandowski inflicts more Spain pain

Borussia Dortmund 4 Real Madrid 1

The Poland striker gave Jurgen Klopp’s men an early lead and, after Cristiano Ronaldo equalised late in the first half for Real Madrid, Lewandowski struck three times more in the second half.

Following 2012 finalist Bayern’s 4-0 hammering of Barcelona on Tuesday night, it was a further indication ahead of next week’s return legs in Spain that the balance of power in European football may be shifting.
