Edin Terzic is not blind to the widespread consensus that Real Madrid are heavy favorites in tomorrow's Champions League final. The Borussia Dortmund head coach simply doesn't care. After all, his side have made quite the habit of upsetting odds makers on their road to Wembley.
Coming into the Champions League proper, few believed that Dortmund, who would go on to finish fifth in the Bundesliga, would even make it out of their group, let alone finish ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Newcastle United. Having navigated a tricky tie with PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16, BVB were viewed as a plum draw for both Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Both fell in front of the Yellow Wall, the latter failing to register so much as a goal across 180 minutes of football.
Madrid might just be their greatest test yet but it is not one that inspires fear for Terzic, who 11 years ago was among the Dortmund fans at Wembley who saw their side fall at the last hurdle against Bayern Munich. "It's clear that they are favourites," said Terzic. "We don't care.
We weren't favourites against Atletico or Paris either. It's about us. If we are brave, if we are ready to show that we don't want to see how Real Madrid lift the next trophy, if we give them a game, then we're going to have a chance.
" The Dortmund boss added, "If we play 10 times against Real Madrid it will be very difficult. Thirty-four, impossible. If you break it down to one game everything is possible.
"It's about the gam.
