Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic expressed confidence ahead of the Champions League final against Real Madrid. Despite being underdogs, Terzic believes Dortmund's strong defensive record and recent form give them a real chance to win their second UCL title. The match will be a historic and emotional event.

Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic emphasized his team's determination not to be mere spectators as Real Madrid aims for a record 15th Champions League title. Despite finishing fifth in the Bundesliga, Dortmund reached their first Champions League final since 2013, surprising many with their journey.

Terzic highlighted their resilience, having defeated Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals and Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals. "We are ready to compete at the highest level," Terzic stated. "Real Madrid are favourites, but in a final, anything is possible."

Dortmund's defensive solidity has been key to their success, boasting the most clean sheets this season. "We need to keep the opposition as far away from the goal as possible," Terzic added, noting their improvement since September.

Julian Brandt and Nico Schlotterbeck, key players for Dortmund, discussed their mindset ahead of the final. Brandt mentioned that despite former teammate Jude Bellingham now playing for Real Madrid, the focus remains on the task at hand. Schlotterbeck emphasized their defensive prowess: "We kept a clean sheet against Paris twice. We can beat any opponent in the world."

The final, Dortmund's 300th European game, will also mark the farewell match for Marco Reus in the yellow shirt, and Toni Kroos for Real Madrid before his retirement after Euro 2024. Brandt praised both players, adding a sentimental touch to the high-stakes encounter.

As Dortmund prepares for the showdown, their unwavering belief and strategic approach underscore their ambition to lift the trophy against the odds.
