They took the lead in the 12th minute through Robert Lewandowski, and they doubled their advantage just 10 minutes later through Marco Reus. Real Madrid pulled one back through Karim Benzema in the 38th minute, but Dortmund restored their two-goal lead just after the hour mark through Mario Götze. The match was effectively over as a contest in the 77th minute when Reus scored his second of the night to make it 4-1.
A Night To Remember

He would go on to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2014, but he will always be remembered for his performance in this match.
