Real Madrid attempt to achieve the impossible when they host Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in the second-leg match of the Champions League semifinals (2:45pm, Fox Soccer Channel).
Jose Mourinho’s men are given a boost as talismanic midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo returned to training this week, giving them a legitimate chance to come back from the 4-1 scoreline suffered last Wednesday. Madrid should have nearly their entire squad available to choose from selection, after winning a hard fought match on Saturday against cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid. Real have asked fans to come to the match dressed in white to enhance the atmosphere at the packed Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Borussia enter the match on a high, after a considerably weaker side won on Saturday 2-1 against Fortuna Dusseldorf on the road. Manager Jurgen Klopp said ahead of the match that his team will need to play a counter attacking style, but that his team has a style of play, and there isn’t much that the manager can do to change it. Lewandowski will be starting once more, on the back of his four-goal performance six days ago.
