Football: Real Madrid fall just short as Borussia Dortmund proceed to the final

Borussia Dortmund are on their way to Wembley. But only just. Jürgen Klopp's side rode out an opening storm and a late, late siege to reach the final on 25 May. Just when it appeared that their passage would ultimately be a comfortable one, two goals in the final eight minutes, first from Karim Benzema and then from Sergio Ramos, left them hanging on. In the end a 2-0 defeat, Dortmund's first in four matches against Madrid, was not enough to deny them. When the final whistle went there were celebrations from Dortmund's players and applause from Real Madrid's fans.
