As the Champions League final approaches, Borussia Dortmund’s manager, Edin Terzic, has confidently stated that his team is in London with one goal in mind: to lift the coveted trophy. The final, set to take place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, pits the German side against the formidable Real Madrid, who are seeking their 15th title in the competition.
Despite the odds favoring Madrid, Dortmund is determined to claim the trophy for only the second time in their history. Terzic, speaking before the match, emphasized that his team is not in London merely to spectate. “We know they are by far the most successful team in this competition,” Terzic said. “We have had only two defeats this season, but we also see we are ready to compete on the highest level. If you break it down to one game, then everything is possible.”
Real Madrid’s storied success in the Champions League has cast them in the role of favorites, but Terzic reminded everyone that Dortmund has already overcome significant challenges, defeating Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter and semi-finals, respectively. “They have a role as the favorites, but we weren’t favorites against Atletico or Paris [Saint-Germain] either,” he noted.
Terzic’s message is clear: Dortmund is prepared to be brave and seize the opportunity. “If we are brave and not here to see Madrid win their next trophy, then we’re going to have a chance,” he concluded, setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying clash for European glory.
