Real Madrid defender Marcelo says that he and his team-mates are fully aware of the quality Borussia Dortmund possess.
Madrid met Dortmund in the group stages earlier in the competition and were unable to beat the Germans, losing in Germany and drawing 2-2 at Santiago Bernabeu and Brazilian defender Marcelo is fully aware of the threat they possess going into next week’s Champions League semi-final.
“We are clear that we want to arrive at this much-anticipated final but we also know that Borussia are a very strong team,” Marcelo told AFP.
“We drew with them in the Bernabeu and we know it will be very difficult because they are a great side. They also like to attack a lot and in the way we attack we are similar.
“Lewandowski is a difficult man to defend against. The whole team is very strong, so we cannot fixate on just one player and we will see what happens because we are desperate to go to the final.
“The team is very united in the dressing room and you notice this on the pitch. Many times I hear people talking about the 10th European Cup.
“It is a dream for the supporters but we are first dreaming about getting to the final and going step-by-step.
“We have a great chance and we will see if we can achieve it,” he added.
