    MOTM: Marco Reus (Dortmund): Two goals and a stunning overall display that should have seen him clock up a couple of additional assists. This boy is going to be in-demand this summer.

    FT: Dortmund 2-0 Real Madrid. A Reus double isn't enough for Dortmund who gave everything but came up just short. Real progress to the last four 3-2 on aggregate.

    Benzema booked for his slow stroll off the pitch.

    Real sub: Benzema replaced by Varane. The France striker took an age to go off. Will the ref add the time?
    90+1'
    This has been a sensational effort from Dortmund. The players look shattered. Can they summon one last attack?
    90'
    Another chance for Bale! Great save Weidenfeller. It's still Real on the attack as Isco flashes wide. Two minutes added. Dortmund still in it. Can they pull off the miracle in injury time?
    89'
    Back up the other end and Bale surges clear from Benzema's pass but goes down under an awkward challenge. The referee has a long look but decides against giving the foul. Dortmund still alive.
    88'
    Lewandowski finds space deep in Real territory and wins a corner, but it comes to nothing.
    87'
    Bale breaks forward for Real but he's easily eased off the ball. Dortmund have a free kick and will try to launch a late onslaught on the Real goal.
    86'
    Is it going to be four on the spin? STAT: Real Madrid have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in each of the last three seasons but haven’t been to the final since 2002.
    85'
    It's been a long, long night for Real, but they are in touching distance of the last four now.
    84'
    Corner to Dortmund... no., the ref gives the goal kick. It was very close that. Pepe seemed to have the last touch but it's gone Real's way.

    Another sub goes in the book as Casemiro lunges into a challenge. Real's fourth booking of the night.

    Aubameyang fouls Modric and picks up an instant yellow card!

    Dortmund sub: Piszczek replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
    80'
    Benzema gets a sniff of goal and lashes in an effort... fine stop Weidenfeller.
    79'
    Still more than enough time for Dortmund. The way this match has gone you'd fancy them to create one or two openings in the next 11 minutes or so. Can they make it count?
    78'
    The visitors could do with Bale stepping up in Ronaldo's absence... STAT: Bale has had a hand in six of Real Madrid’s goals in their last three Champions League matches (three goals, three assists).
    77'
    A rare touch for Bale as he flicks the ball back towards his defenders. We've hardly seen anything of Real as an attacking force.
