Germany 8-1 Spain

When the semi-final draw was made, there was mare too much hype over a potential El Clasico final at Wembley. Well it's now going to take something special to happen in Spain for either Barcelona or Real Madrid to progress. Both Spanish giants travelled to Germany and they were both given a hiding that neither has had for a very long time.

Real Madrid travelled to Dortmund and walked in to a battering ram that was Robert Lewandowski. The Pole's first strike came after just eight minutes when he slid home Mario Gotze's cross, whose announcement of a move to Bayern Munich in the Summer will hurt Dortmund.

The thing that now differs between Madrid and Barcelona is that Real do have an away goal to shout about. It came two minutes before half-time when Mats Hummel's poor back pass was intercepted by Gonzalo Higuain. Higuain then laid the ball across for Cristiano Ronaldo, who else, to score his 12th goal of the competition. It was slightly controversial though as moments before the goal, Dortmund thought they should have had a penalty when Marco Reus under a Raphael Varane challenge.

Dortmund were back in front just five minutes in to the second half when Marco Reus' blocked shot came to Lewandowski, who Madrid claimed was in an offside position, and the striker had no problem converting his second of the night. The hat-trick came just five minutes later when Lewandowski received the ball from a Marcel Schmelzer cross, he produced some great skill to beat Pepe before firing a powerful shot in to the net.

The rout was completed on 67-minutes when Marco Reus was finally given the penalty he felt he deserved. This time, Reus was barged over in the box by Xabi Alonso and the referee had no other choice to point to the spot. Lewandowski stepped up to complete an unbelievable night and the Pole easily took his tally to ten for the competition.

In both legs of the quarter final and even their match, with a weakened team, against Levante, Barcelona have looked nothing more than ordinary and have been extremely lucky to be in this tie against Bayern Munich. The Spanish giants hadn't improved inside the Allianz with Lionel Messi having the fewest touches in any of his Champions League matches this season.

From the very start, only one team looked up for a battle and Bayern Munich took full advantage of the average performing Barcelona side, who did still see more of the ball. The deadlock was broken on 25-minutes when Arjen Robben's cross saw Dante head the ball, but instead of it going towards the goal, it ended up going back across goal where Thomas Muller reacted quickest to fire home.

The point of the extra officials was in question throughout the match as there a few penalty decisions that Bayern Munich arguably should have won. But none of the appeals were given even though the extra officials were in a fantastic place to tell the referee whether a foul of handball had been committed.

It was 2-0 four minutes in to the second half when Robben's corner was headed down by Muller for Mario Gomez to tap in from four yards, albeit from a seemingly offside position. Robben then scored a deserved third despite it being shrouded in more controversy and asking more questions over the pointless extra officials. It came on 73-minutes with Robben running at Jordi Alba, the Dutchman got a yard over the Spaniard and as he checked back inside, Muller shoulder barged Alba to the floor. It was a definite free-kick but nothing was given and Robben took a couple more paces towards the goal before unleashing his effort past Victor Valdes at his front post.

In the other goal, Manuel Neuer must have been surprised at how clean his gloves were come the final whistle. The German keeper was somehow tested very rarely and the game was completed eight minutes from the end when David Alaba's cross, after he, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery combined, was turned in by Muller for his second goal.

Neither of the semi-finals are definitely over, but it is looking more likely that Wembley will be invaded by the two German powerhouses rather than the El Clasico counterparts.
