Dortmund Qualifies For Champions League Semi Finals in a Sensational Comeback

Julian Brandt shines as Borussia Dortmund storm into Champions League semi-finals

Borussia Dortmund booked their spot in the Champions League semi-finals with a sensational comeback against Atletico Madrid at the Westfalenstadion.

In a thrilling start, both teams threatened early on, but Dortmund soon took control of the first half. Brandt broke the deadlock after 34 minutes, followed by Maatsen doubling the lead just five minutes later.

However, Atletico fought back fiercely after the break. Diego Simeone’s triple substitution paid off, with Hummels inadvertently deflecting a shot into his own net, and Correa leveling the tie.

Undeterred, Dortmund pressed on. Füllkrug, ending his goal drought, nodded in a crucial goal, followed swiftly by Sabitzer extending the lead. The 4-2 victory on the night secured Dortmund’s place in the semi-finals with a 5-4 aggregate win.
