Champions League: Real Madrid - Borussia Dortmund Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria believes Saturday's triumph over Atletico can serve as a springboard in their Champions League semi-final.
Madrid were humbled 4-1 by Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their semi-final tie, with prolific marksman Robert Lewandowski scoring all four goals in a memorable performance.

And di Maria, who netted the match-winning goal, believes the derby win can be the catalyst for redemption against Dortmund at the Bernabeu on Tuesday.

arsene wenger, psg, arsenal, carlo ancelotti, des princes, premier league The Spanish giants go into the second leg at the Bernabeu
