Real survive Dortmund blitz

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 during a first-half onslaught.

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.
