Borussia Dortmund Vs Real Madrid@19.45 Tuesday April 08,2014
Goal Scorers -Marco Reus(24&37th minute)
With Cristiano Ronaldo not fit to start it would have been Ronaldo's chance to make it to 15 goals in this season's Champions League but with the injured player watching from the sidelines
Real Madrid are all too aware of Dortmund's free-scoring capabilities at home, having suffered a 4-1 defeat that ultimately cost them a place in last year's Champions League final.
Robert Lewandowski scored all four of Dortmund's goals
on that occasion and he returned to the German side's starting line-up
for this game after missing the first leg through suspension.
But before he even had chance to make an impression, Real should have been ahead. They were awarded a penalty when full-back Lukasz Piszczek was adjudged to have handled Fabio Coentrao's cross inside the area, but Di Maria hit the resulting spot-kick straight at goalkeeper Roman Weidenfellar.
With Cristiano Ronaldo, who injured his knee in the first leg, on the bench and Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Di Maria struggling to make an impression, Dortmund continued to attack a clearly rattled Real Madrid backline
Awful defending from Pepe gifted Dortmund the first goal of the night. The defender headed back towards Casillas's goal allowing Reus to intercept and shot past the keeper.
Real Madrid have now reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in four consecutive years
Squads
Borussia Dortmund
Weidenfeller 7, Piszczek 6 (Aubameyang 82), Friedrich 7, Hummels 8, Durm 6, Kirch 6, Jojic 6, Grosskreutz 7, Mkhitaryan 7, Reus 9, Lewandowski 8.
Real Madrid
Casillas 9, Carvajal 6, Pepe 5, Ramos 6, Coentrao 6, Illarramendi 4 (Isco 45, 7), Alonso 6, Modric 6, Di Maria 6 (Casemiro, 73), Benzema 6 (Varane 90), Bale 6
Chelsea Vs PSG @ 19.45 Tuesday April 08,2014
Goal Scorers -Andre Schurrle(32)and Demba Ba(87)
Chelsea were through, and off went Mourinho, down the line to join the celebrations by the corner flag, just as he had done when Porto equalised at Old Trafford to eliminate Manchester United in the same competition in 2004
Chelsea have come back from 3-1 down before in the Champions League, but not at this late stage and not against a team with the potential of Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho races along the touchline after Chelsea added a second, crucial goal
Jose Mourinho insists he was not celebrating Chelsea's pivotal second goal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg against PSG at Stamford Bridge, but was telling his strikers what to do next.
The Chelsea boss, who sprinted down the touchline to reach his players, who had piled on each other after Demba Ba's goal, claims he was attempting to set Fernando Torres and Demba Ba up for the rest of the match.
Squads
Chelsea
Cech 8.5, Ivanovic 7, Cahill 7, Terry 7, Azpilicueta 6.5, Luiz 6.5, Lampard 7 (Ba 66, 7), Willian 7.5, Oscar 6.5 (Torres 81), Hazard 5 (Schurrle 18, 8), Eto'o 6.5.
