All Borussia Dortmund had to do was hold Real Madrid to a 2-0 win or worse to advance to the UEFA Champions League final. They did just that, allowing two goals to Madrid, but winning the two legged semifinal 4-3 on total goals scored, holding on in the game's final minutes.

The 2013 UEFA Champions League has been a coming out party for Germany. Often regarded as a tier below the leagues of England and Spain, the nation's top two club teams, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, have smoked Spanish opponents in the semifinals of the competition, and are almost a sure thing to advance to the finals against one another.
