UCL: Dortmund Down Atletico Madrid In Thriller

By Chimezie Nebolisa

Borussia Dortmund stormed into the Champions League semifinals with a rip-roaring 4-2 home win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday that saw them fight back from a 2-1 defeat in the first leg to win the tie 5-4 on aggregate.

The German side scored twice in the first half and looked to be cruising into the last four, but Atletico bounced back with two goals early in the second half to put Dortmund on the ropes before they dug deep to complete a superb comeback.

The German side will now take on Paris St Germain, who came back from 4-2 down to beat Barcelona 6-4 on aggregate, in the semifinals, with a place in the final on June 1 at London's Wembley Stadium at stake.

"We played an incredibly good first half, then there was the extremely unfortunate goal conceded, (but) how we came back, wow," delighted Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said after the game.
