The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international claims he is looking forward to play against a team coached by the best trainer of the world and players like Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo
Borussia Dortmund central midfielder Ilkay Gundogan feels Real Madrid are the most favourable team left in the UEFA Champions League, but stressed that he does not fear to play them in the last four clash. The young prodigy admires
Los Blancos head coach Jose Mourinho, Mesut Ozil and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 a lot.
Jurgen Klopp’s men took four points from La Liga club during the group phase. However, the player believes they have improved significantly since then, but said the BVB will be prepared to get a good result once again. He claimed
that Real are one of the best clubs in the world if not the best.
Madrid have won a record number of nine Champions League title, but the Black Yellows are confident after beating them at Signal Iduna Park earlier this season. He further added they have proved that they can defeat any team and
are very positive about the fixture.
"[Madrid] is one of the best clubs in the world. I think they're the best team in the Champions League, but we have beaten them in the group before," he added.
"Undoubtedly Madrid are now better than they were in the group, but at we showed we could beat anyone and that leaves us with a positive feeling,” he mused.
The 22-year-old stated that it was vital for them to reach the semi-finals after getting knocked out of the competition during the group stages last season.
"Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League is very important for Dortmund. In fact, nobody had marked us as favourites to reach the second round because of the group we had with Real Madrid and Manchester City,” he finally concluded.
Gundogan said that people thought they would be eliminated in the group stage again after being placed in a group with big teams such as Ajax, Manchester City and Real Madrid. Therefore, Dortmund have come a long way to prove their
doubters wrong as they have done really well.
