Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic is confident in his team’s ability to achieve the unexpected as they prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final at Wembley stadium.
Madrid, the favorites, have had a dominant season, but Dortmund has defied the odds to reach this stage. Madrid’s impressive record this season includes winning La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup, but they have faced tough challenges in the Champions League. Despite the odds, Dortmund remains determined to give their best effort in the final.
Dortmund struggled in the Bundesliga this season without him, finishing fifth, 27 points behind Bayer Leverkusen.
However, Terzic’s team excelled in the Champions League, reaching the final for the third time in the club’s history. Dortmund topped a tough group with Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Newcastle, then defeated PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid.
A strong defensive performance against PSG in the semi-finals set up a final clash with Real Madrid. Despite being underdogs, Terzic’s team is determined to challenge for the trophy.
Dortmund’s only previous Champions League success came in 1997, and fans are eagerly anticipating the final in London. Marco Reus, one of the few remaining players from the 2013 final defeat to Bayern, is hoping for a fairytale ending to his Dortmund career.
The focus will be on the players on the field to ensure a successful final at Wembley, following past incidents of fan violence during major events.
