Acid test for Real Madrid against Borussia Dortmund in the semifinal of UEFA Champions League.



         

This is going to be a litmus test for the most successful team of Europe to survive their reputation while Real Madrid will host the German side Borussia Dortmund at Santiago Bernabeu in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal following their 4-1 defeat in the first leg.
                 Spanish giant, Real Madrid, the nine times European champions need to overturn their first leg away defeat  for advancing into the final, against a side whom they failed to defeat a single encounter of this season.
                 In their first leg encounter at Signal Eduna Park last week Robert Lewandowsi scored all four goals for the German side while Christano Ronaldo scored the priceless away goal for the visitors.
                 On behalf of that away goal Real Madrid need a clear 3-0 victory over Dortmund to have the ticket of Wembley on the other hand the visitors just need to defend their first leg victory, a goalless draw or even a 1-0 defeat also guide them into the final.
                Real Madrid boss Jose Mourniho told in a press conference that Christano Roanalo, who got injured during the first leg tie will start here from the beginning as well as the
Argentine forward Angel Di Maria will also start here by replacing Luka Modric with Mesut Ozil moving back into his preferred central role.
                Meanwhile the visitors have few injury problems this time with Lukasz Piszczek struggling with the groin injury as well as midfilders Ilkay Gundogan & Mario Gotze are also suffering from injuries.
               In the history of Real Madrid, second time they are going to face such a critical circumstance, first time back to 1975 they faced a similar circumstance while they lost the first leg against English champions Derby Country in the first leg by 4-1 margin but they succeeded to defeat Derby by same margin in the return leg, which levelled the tie, guided the match towards extra time, where Real Madrid scored the decider & advanced them towards the next stage.
