It was the most memorable night of the season yet. Following the hard-fought 3-2 victory over FC Bayern in the DFB Cup semi-final, a look of sheer joy was etched onto the face of every single BVB player, staff member and fan. "There was a feeling of pure joy in the changing rooms," said Marco Reus. The party atmosphere didn't last long, however. The Black and Yellows were quick to switch their focus to the important league match with 1. FC Köln on Saturday. 

It was the 63rd minute. Borussia might have freed themselves from Bayern's iron grip, but suddenly Arjen Robben was presented with an open goal and looked certain to notch Bayern's third and put the game beyond BVB's reach. Then came Sven Bender to the rescue...
