The Spanish shot-stopper is of the opinion that it would be unfair to right the Spanish giants, Real Madrid, off before the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid faced Borussia Dortmund while being away from home in the UEFA Champions League semi-final. Los Blancos were the favourites to emerge as winners from the two-legged affair, but the first leg was extremely one-sided and Dortmund might just be
the side to qualify for the final of the prestigious tournament.
The match ended 4-1 in the favour of the German underdogs, the side which was the least favourite out of the last four in the competition. However, they were able to give a five-star performance against Los Blancos as they are now only a step away from going
to Wembley.
While there are several pundits and professionals who claim that Real Madrid are well out of the UEFA Champions League, their club captain and goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815, believes that they can still do the impossible and come back into the tie.
“The feeling is not good, to be 4-1 down in a semi-final is painful. But after the game people are beginning to be encouraged, to believe and understand that we have a second leg ahead of us,” Casillas told reporters at a publicity event today.”
“We have five days to appeal to the fans, to come to the Bernabeu and encourage us as they have in other times when we have gotten through previous rounds.”
“As captain and a player of this team I ask people to go to the Bernabeu with their soul. The 11 that are on the pitch will do their all to try and get through the tie. We believe in the comeback.”
“But I do not believe that it will be an indicator for the Cup final. In our minds we will have much more the games on Tuesday.”
Real Madrid must to win 3-0 at their home ground, Santiago Bernabeu, in order to qualify for the final of the prestigious European competition, the UEFA Champions League.
