The 24-year-old converted his fourth from the spot, after Reus was fouled.t also showed more evidence of a shift towards German dominance of Europe, only 24 hours after Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 4-0 in their semi-final first leg.This was Real's third consecutive Champions League semi-final under boss Jose Mourinho, having lost the previous two, and the game's pattern looked ominous for his side as Dortmund tore into them at every opportunity with Sven Bender quick to dispossess his opponents in midfield.With his contract due to expire at the end of next season, the forward has been a reported summer target for Manchester United and Bayern Munich.And the effervescent coach received a similarly rousing performance from his team as they set off at a blistering pace and could have been a goal up a minute before Lewandowski's opener. Reus again bore down on the Real back line and looked like he was tripped in the penalty area by Raphael Varane, yet referee Bjorn Kuipers waved the German's appeals away.And his value will increase no end after he became the first player to score four times in a Champions League semi-final.His ruthless display of finishing continued Dortmund's 100% European home record this season and leaves Real Madrid with a mountainous task to reach the final at Wembley in May.
