    18'
    Klopp simply laughed in disbelief when he saw the referee point to the spot. Perhaps justice was served? Di Maria seemed to miscue as he stepped up.

    PENALTY SAVED! Di Maria strikes his spot kick low to the keeper's left, but Roman Weidenfeller gets down well to beat it away.
    17'
    Coentrao crosses from the left and Lukasz Piszczek is penalised for a harsh hand ball.
    16'
    PENALTY to REAL!
    15'
    Nice feet and a clever reverse pass towards Lewandowksi by Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but Daniel Carvajal mops up the danger.
    14'
    It's been a low-key opening. Dortmund need to crank it up a gear to have any hope.
    13'
    STAT: Real Madrid come in to this match on the back of a 10-game unbeaten run in the Champions League (W9 D1). The last CL game they lost was the SF first leg in Dortmund last April.
    12'
    Madrid work it short but it comes to nothing.
    11'
    Bale breaks down the right with a lightning charge but sees his low cross deflected for a corner.
    10'
    The free kick comes to nothing but Dortmund are beginning to win the ball back easily and the wave of yellow and black attacks are growing in regularity. Can they get that early breakthrough to ignite some belief?
    9'
    Free kick to Dortmund as Xabi Alonso tugs back the marauding Reus. Could easily have been a yellow for the former Liverpool man.
    8'
    A loose ball by Modric gifts the ball to Reus but he can't control it and there aren't enough Dortmund shirts in support to make something of it.
    7'
    Pepe gets away with one as he upends Reus after being bamboozled by the Borussia playmaker on the edge of the area. The referee got that wrong.
    6'
    Kevin Grosskreutz fires a cross in from the left but it's food and drink for Iker Casillas.
    5'
    Modric teases a pass in behind the full back but Fabio Coentrao can't get there.
    4'
    Real with some good early possession. The visitors looking to take the sting out of Dortmund's early enthusiasm. It's on old cliche, but the key to so many Euro triumphs over the years.
    3'
    Bale with an early burst down the left but his outside of the foot pass to Di Maria is easily cut out.
    2'
    Tonight's referee is Damir Skomina of Slovenia.

    KICK OFF! Real get us underway with one foot in the last four. But Dortmund are hoping to take that foot from underneath them. Expect the hosts to attack from the start.

    The ground is rocking. Those home supporters still believe despite the steep mountain their team need to climb. The players are entering the arena - let battle commence!
