#3 Robert Lewandowski
24th April 2013.
Neither the Real Madrid players nor their most ardent fans will forget this date easily.
Real Madrid faced German giants Borussia Dortmund in the 1st leg of UEFA Champions League semifinals, only to see themselves thwarted in the round for the third time in as many years.
The scoreline read 4-1 at the end of 90 minutes as Los Blancos were outclassed by a 24-year-old Robert Lewandowski, who had just started turning heads across the world with his impressive displays for BVB.
Lewandowski fired 4 past Los Merengues, becoming the first and the only player ever to score a quadruple against them in the UCL. Also, he became the first player in the history of the UCL to score 4 goals in a semifinal game.
Dortmund went on to win the tie only to lose to Bayern in the final, but Lewandowski had made sure the world would remember his name.
