Champions League: Galatasaray v Real Madrid - in pictures
Judging by the masks in the crowd the Galatasaray fans seem to be impressed with the team coach Fatih TerimPhotograph: Thanassis Stavrakis/APOne thing they won't be impressed by is their team's defending after seven minutes when Khedira whips in a ball across the six-yard box where Cristiano Ronaldo is waiting for an easy tap in. Galatasaray have an even steeper mountain to climb nowPhotograph: EPAGalatasaray's Didier Drogba tries a marauding run in order to try for a consolotion goal at least but alas it comes to no availPhotograph: Tolga Bozoglu/EPA
Madrid are surging forwards trying to get another.

He takes a lovely touch to steal between Varane and Pepe from a diagonal pass from the right to his inside-left position then, with his second touch, slotted a 16-yard shot past Lopez Photograph: Tolga Bozoglu/EPAIt's definitely looking like a comeback!! Just minutes later Sabri, who has been outstanding as an outside right, slips a cross to Drogba who stands up to Varane's challenge and backheels it past Lopez Photograph: Thanassis Stavrakis/APThe Galatasaray fans dare to dream Photograph: Bulent Kilic/AFP/Getty ImagesRonaldo and Higuain look shellshockedPhotograph: Tolga Bozoglu/EPAHiguain needn't have worried. As during injury time his Portuguese team-mate got his, and Real's, second when he blasts the ball home from the edge of the box after receiving a cut back from Benzema. That's 11 goals in this season's European Cup for him. Final score: Galatasaray 3-2 Real Madrid (aggregate 3-5)Photograph: Javier Soriano/AFP/Getty ImagesOver at the Westfalenstadion, as the players walk out, the Borussia Dortmund fans perform a fabulous choreographed tifo with a scary looking chap popping up from behind a banner which reads 'On the trail of the lost Champions League cup'Photograph: Wolfgang Rattay/ReutersDortmund have the most of the opening exchanges but Málaga do threaten on occasions. Here Dortmund's Sven Bender heads clear from Baptista and Jeremy ToulalanPhotograph: Dennis Grombkowski/Bongarts/Getty ImagesTwenty-five minutes in and there's a big shock as Málaga take the lead! Baptista's header comes back to him off a defender, and he plays the ball to Isco. He plays it back to Joaquín (though actually it's Felipe Santana who makes most contact with the ball) who takes out a defender by cutting on to his left foot and then has his low shot slightly deflected to take it just inside the near postPhotograph: Patrik Stollarz/AFP/Getty ImagesJust before half-time the home side are level set up by a brilliant assist from Marco Reus, a first-time backheel flick from Mario Götze's pass that sent Robert Lewandowski clear. The striker took the ball past Willy Caballero and then slid the ball into the net. Though it's all square again Málaga have the advantage with their away goalPhotograph: Martin Meissner/APIn case you missed him earlier here's some half-time entertainment for you - a close-up of Dortmund's scary tifo chap. Looks like Inspector Gadget's creepy brotherPhotograph: Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty ImagesMarcel Schmelzer slips past Joaquin Photograph: Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty ImagesWith Dortmund not playing their usual flowing style, things are getting a bit messy out there - here Felipe Santana is in a melee of Málaga playersPhotograph: Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty ImagesWith 82 minutes on the clock Isco's pass finds Baptista running into the penalty area, he shoots but the ball is going wide ... Photograph: Odd Andersen/AFP/Getty ImagesUntil Eliseu runs in and taps in from a yard out. He's expecting an offside flag from either the linesman or the fifth official but one isn't forthcoming so he goes off to celebrate with his team-mates. With just 8 minutes to go and barring some amazing turnaround by the homeside, it looks like it's the Spanish side who'll be in the draw for the semisPhotograph: Odd Andersen/AFP/Getty ImagesRobert Lewandowski leads the Malaga defence on a merry dance again Photograph: Dennis Grombkowski/Bongarts/Getty ImagesAs four minutes of stoppage time starts Borussia Dortmund pull one back. Dortmund have a decent free-fick from deep which finds Subotic free on the far post. He knocks it across to Felipe Santana, two yards in front of an empty net, and though he's tackled the ball rolls to Reus, slams the ball homePhotograph: Patrik Stollarz/AFP/Getty ImagesJust two minutes later the impossible happens - the home side score their third on the night - taking them through to the semi-finals. Incredible! Lewandowski crosses from the left – four Borussia players are offside – and it ping-pongs around a bit before breaking to Santana – offside again – who taps in from a yardPhotograph: Alex Grimm/Bongarts/Getty ImagesIt's no surprise that Felipe Santana is rather overjoyed Photograph: Alex Grimm/Bongarts/Getty ImagesLess than 2 minutes later the final whistle goes which means there's lots of hugging and smiling from the Borussia players ...Photograph: Martin Meissner/APThere's also ajumping and asprayingPhotograph: Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty ImagesBundle!!!Photograph: Dennis Grombkowski/Bongarts/Getty ImagesEven the Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp gets in on the act, running, jumping, awhooping and aholleringPhotograph: Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty ImagesMálaga's Jeremy Toulalan and his team-mates are devastated. In the space of ten minutes, they went from sitting pretty in the semi-finals to being dumped out to the tournament.
