Just eight minutes in and Dortmund convert that pressure into a goal and take the lead.

After Dortmund's frantic start and their goal, things calm down a tad and Real Madrid start to get back into the game, here's Cristiano Ronaldo skipping past Lukasz Piszczek Photograph: Patrik Stollarz/AFP/Getty Images

Midway throught the first half Sven Bender is penalised for hand ball about 35 yards from the Dortmund goal and Critiano Ronaldo steps up to take the free-kick. It's a decent effort, dipping and on target, but doesn't trouble Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller unduly Photograph: Wolfgang Rattay/Reuters

Bizarrely Real Madrid win three free-kicks in as many minutes from the same position, but aren't able to benefit from any of them. Here Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller punches away Xabi Alonso's free-kick Photograph: John Macdougall/AFP/Getty Images

The game turns just before half-time. Raphael Varane was scrambling back to try to take the ball off Reus, but lost his footing and knocked over the Dortmund midfielder in the penalty area.

Mats Hummel tried to play the ball back to his goalkeeper from a good way out with a horrendously under-hit back-pass. Gonzalo Higuain latched on to it, drew the goalkeeper and only remaining defender before rolling the ball across the face of goal, where Ronaldo had a simple tap-in. It's his 50th Champions League goal and also his 6th in 6 successive Champions League games - a new recordHalf-time score: Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Real Madrid Photograph: Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty Images

Dortmund start the second half as they did the first, they score within the first few minutes. The ball is crossed from the right into the Real Madrid penalty area and headed out as far as Reus. From the edge of the penalty area, he plays a defence-splitting pass to the feet of Lewandowski, who controls and turns with one magnificent touch, before slotting the ball past Lopez Photograph: Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty Images

Real Madrid's players go ballistic, appealing with the referee and linesman for offside but he was just onside Photograph: Kai Pfaffenbach/Reuters

Then five minutes later the striker gets his hat-trick when he smashes the ball into the roof of the net after a delightful dragback to take the ball away from the feet of Pepe to make six inches of space for the shot Photograph: Ina Fassbender/Reuters

Here is that shot. That's a sensational hat-trick Photograph: Joern Pollex/Bongarts/Getty Images

And now it's four. Just past the hour mark Alonso bundles over Reus in the penalty area and the referee points striaght to the spot. Lewandowski (who else) steps up and smashes the ball down the centre. There's a sense of deja vu as like Barcelona, Real Madrid are getting a pasted by a german side Photograph: Ina Fassbender/Reuters

Lewandowski is the first player to score four goals in a Champions League semi-final. He is also the first player to score four goals against Real Madrid in European competition Photograph: Kai Pfaffenbach/Reuters

In the dying minutes Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller has to alert to deny Real a second away goal. Sami Khedira picks up a pass from Kaka and pings a first-time through-ball along the deck for Ronaldo to chase. Weidenfeller is quick off his line to block the shot Photograph: Wolfgang Rattay/Reuters

The final whistle goes to put Real Madrid out of their misery. After that tonking it's no wonder Sergio Ramos and his team-mates trudge off the pitch bewildered ... Photograph: Martin Rose/Bongarts/Getty Images

Their fans are shell-shocked too Photograph: Bernd Thissen/EPA

Meanwhile at the other end of the pitch it's a completely different story with unadulterated joy emanating from the Dortmund players and fans. So barring the mothers of all comebacks in the second legs, it looks like it's going to be an all german final at Wembley on the 25th of May Photograph: Pierre-philippe Marcou/AFP/Getty Images
