The Scourge Of Madrid Returns
He scored four when these sides met in Germany last season and he's a great price to simply grab one here.
Dortmund may look dead and buried at 0-3 down against Madrid, but we should at least expect them to make a fist of things on Tuesday night. The return of Robert Lewandowski should prove a catalyst and at best odds of 2/1 (Ladbrokes) he is a bargain in the anytime goalscorer market.
The Polish star grabbed all four to himself when Real were torn to pieces 4-1 in last season’s semi-final first leg; it’s just a shame for the Germans that even that result wouldn’t be sufficient this time round!
No matter, when it comes to backing the man bound for Bayern Munich this summer, we should have no qualms. The 25-year-old has notched six in eight Champions League outings in 2013-14 which makes his tally 16 in 21 appearances over two campaigns.
For all their attacking verve, Madrid have conceded in six of their nine European outings this season and in three of four away games. Ancelotti will be missing a couple of defenders and, regardless, you never know if mere complacency will win us this bet.
