Real Madrid against Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund needlessly give the ball away. Can Real fashion one last chance?

Into the final 60 seconds.

It's five minutes to be added we've found out. 90 seconds to go.

Great corner, Ramos won the header but could only put it a few yards wide of the post. Even Diego Lopez was up there.

Corner to Real Madrid!

Injury time without knowing how much time there is. This is like going back in time 20 years.

We've had no notification of stoppage time.

Into injury time as Bender is carried off.

Bender is down and needs treatment for an ankle injury. The stretcher is on.

This can't happen can it? And how much time is Dortmund's time wasting going to result in?

Varane's shot was blocked, it ran to Benzema who calmly picked out Ramos six yards out and he fired into the roof of the net.

You certainly can't rule out Real scoring three goals in the second half, but they are going to have to up their game.
