The Galatasaray coach has stated that their Champions League last eight clash with Real Madrid is not over yet, despite a 3-0 defeat in the first leg.
Last week, when Real Madrid took on Turkish giants Galatasaray at the Santiago Bernabeu, many thought that the Istanbul giants would pose a greater than expected challenge, but the Blancos ran riot in the first leg and won 3-0.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 and Gonzalo Higuain all got their names to the score sheet hence inflicting a 3-0 loss at the travelling side, a score that no one can expect to be turn over when the aggregate scores are weighed after the second leg.
The return leg is to be played in Istanbul, at the famous home of the Turkish giants and the side’s manager Fatih Terim believes in miracles.
It is an accepted fact that no big team in the history has found it easy to play in Istanbul, but still the odds are well stacked against the Turkish side after their demolition in the first leg.
The manager however still boasts self belief and belief in his team and knows that they can turn the tide against the 9 time Champions League winners and can shock them in that regard.
"Anything is possible in football, but when you are playing against Real Madrid things are not so easy," Terim told reporters. "Galatasaray will try everything. I am sure about the ambition and enthusiasm of my players. We have prepared ourselves for any
kind of result.
"Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world. We wanted to play football against Real Madrid and we did so. I believe we will play an entertaining game in front of our fans.”
"The result will not be important. Galatasaray's targets never change. If there is a target, then Galatasaray try to achieve it."
German champions Borussia Dortmund will also be hosting Spanish side Malaga after a goalless draw in the first leg in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, a match in which the Germans were far too much wasteful and may have to pay the price for their lack of prolificacy in front of the
goal.
