Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic called the joy at their qualification for the Champions League final "unreal" and said that, whatever their opponents, they will not feel they are favourites but will try. "In the final, I know we won't be favourites, I don't care who we play. Hopefully there will be six yellow cards," he quipped, before adding: "Whoever we play, it will be difficult, but we will try.
Their opponents will emerge from the clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, who drew 2-2 in the first leg in Germany. "We are going to the final and we hope to bring the trophy home," he added.
"What I feel is something unreal, we have managed to do it, I think we deserved it, to reach the final; we have faced this team that puts so much strength and we have done it twice thanks to teamwork and a bit of luck that has helped us a little. I'm proud of the team, the coaching staff and the whole club," he said.
The coach did not want to address the team's poor run in the Bundesliga. "What interests me now is the joy we feel. We could have expected to have a better Bundesliga, we overcame difficulties just before this game, we are 26 points behind, these are things we didn't expect, but now we have to celebrate this moment. We have had ups and downs, a lot of bad moments in the league, but the season is not over.
On PSG, he said: "I don't think they were overconfident, they gave everything, they lost narrowly in the first leg and they were confident, but so were we, that's what counts, that's what makes us proud. If we had played this game ten times, we wouldn't have won it ten times: at this level, small details change everything.
