We say: Borussia Dortmund 0-1 Real Madrid
By conquering the group of death, completing a remarkable turnaround versus Atletico and keeping PSG at bay over two legs, not a soul can question Dortmund's place in the showpiece event, but Terzic and co will be under no illusions that they were fortunate to benefit from Parisien profligacy in the semis. Real's path to Wembley has not been smooth-sailing by any means either, but whether it is the Blancos players thriving under the weight of expectation, the rousing chants of their fans or just the power of the Ancelotti eyebrow, the 14-time champions just get it done.
