Cristiano Ronaldo: 5 Things To Expect For Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund

3. Expect Him To Outshine Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski The talents of players on opposing teams are often easy to overlook when Ronaldo is on the pitch, but Real Madrid aren't the only team with an ace up their sleeve tonight. Borussia Dortmund have been brilliant this season and their free-flowing, offensive performances in the Champions League have been an absolute pleasure to behold. Of course, they're not in the semi-finals of the Champions League by accident, and in fact, are the only undefeated side left in this season's competition. One of the chief reasons why Dortmund have been so impressive in Europe this season is Robert Lewandowski, the Polish hitman who has plundered 31 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions this term, including six in the Champions League, making him the competition's fifth highest goalscorer this season. Like Ronaldo, he will be expected to come up with the goods for his side and will be at the centre of everything positive for Dortmund tonight, but I expect him to be outshone by Ronaldo. The Portuguese' doesn't like sharing the limelight with anyone, and if he can keep up his mean streak in front of goal tonight, he won't have to.
