Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic has shared his expectations for the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
"In the group stage, we played unsuccessfully in Paris in the first round and a draw followed in the second game [at home against AC Milan]. With the win against Newcastle in the third round, we started to believe we could achieve something. We realised we still had something to show in this Champions League and our confidence started to grow.
Then we reached the play-off stage and we said to ourselves: "Of course, the path from round to round is getting more and more difficult, but at the same time we are getting closer". We wanted to do everything we could to advance as far as possible, and now we have achieved that. Of course, we want to take the final step.
We played very well and we deserve this final. We will be facing an incredibly strong team for whom finals are commonplace, but we know that anything is possible in one match. "If we played against Real Madrid 10 times, it might be difficult [to win overall], but in one match, in 90 or 120 minutes, we are capable of beating any opponent," Terzic was quoted as saying by UEFA's official website.
