DORTMUND, Germany (AP) a' Borussia Dortmund used Bayern Munich's guide in upending a Spanish power. Robert Lewandowski scored four goals to direct Dortmund over Real Madrid 4-1 Wednesday evening in the initial leg of their Champions League semifinal. "It was a royal night for us," Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Guendogan mentioned, playing on "real," the Spanish word for "royal." Bayern Munich sent Barcelona 4-0 a night earlier in the day, making it likely Europe's top membership competition will have an all-German final for the first time. The 2nd legs of the total-goals collection have been in Spain a few weeks, with the champions conference at London's Wembley Stadium on May 25. "We still have to visit Madrid. That will not be described as a walk in the park," Dortmund instructor Juergen Klopp said. Real Madrid, a nine-time winner, was preferred against Dortmund, which won the Champions League for the sole time in 1997. Lewandowski opened the score in the eighth moment, just for Cristiano Ronaldo to tie the score with a in the 43rd after Gonzalo Higuain seized on Mats Hummels' vulnerable backpass. It had been Ronaldo's 50th Champions League target, including 12 this season. Lewandowski beat an lure in the 50th for his next target, running onto Marco Reus' defense-splitting move and tucking the ball past goalkeeper Diego Lopez. He caused it to be 3-1 five full minutes later when he eluded Pepe by pulling the ball back and scored from close range. "The next purpose was worth every cent ZDF and Sky provide us," Klopp said, talking about broadcast networks. Lewandowski turned a penalty start working the 67th after Xabi Alonso shoved Reus in the back and was called for the foul. "I am very happy with the four objectives, of course," Lewandowski said. "But we are perhaps not yet through. When we play in Madrid we've to keep as focused. Since so far, we have only taken the first step." Lewandowski became just the next player to score four or maybe more goals in the Champions League, joining Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who'd four against Arsenal in 2010 and five against Bayer Leverkusen this past year. "I could see there was one team on the pitch that was much better than another. The higher team positively won," Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said. The following morning the second legs is likely to be played in Madrid next Tuesday and in Barcelona. "In basketball every thing is possible," Mourinho said. "Anything can happen a few weeks. Dortmund, the only real unbeaten part remaining in the competition, is 6-0 at home. Madrid has dropped its last six games in Germany. Klopp credited Dortmund's fans, clad in the team's bee colors, for his or her support. "Without this atmosphere this game would not have been possible," he explained. "One hundred percent."
