Emre Mor, Christian Pulisic and Andre Schurrle were brought on for Dortmund at various points in the second half, and the introduction of each of these players was important for Dortmund’s attack.

Following Real’s second goal, Dortmund slowed the game down in order to probe through the Real defence. This approach bore no fruit for a while, with Pulisic, Schurrle and Mor all managing shots, but they were not able to trouble Navas to a satisfying degree.

That changed at the fag end of regulation time as Schurrle set himself up at the far post during an attack from the opposite wing, and pounced on the rebound to score a memorable, sumptuous equaliser.
