After a good weekend for Real Madrid, who picked up an important win over Real Sociedad, attention now switches back to the Champions League.
Los Blancos visit Germany on Tuesday night to take on Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their quarter-final tie. They will take on the Bundesliga side holding a 3-0, but none of the Real players will take the game lightly after events at the Westfalenstadion 12 months ago.
The nine-time European champions, led by Jose Mourinho at the time, were humiliated 4-1 – with all four goals scored by one man – Robert Lewandowski. The Bayern Munich-bound Pole was suspended for the first-leg this time, but Real’s tormentor is back for Tuesday’s game.
And in an interview was AS he says he is aiming to repeat his goalscoring heroics of last year. “I’d love to score a poker of four goals again,” he said.
His teammate Marco Reus has also been talking about the game, with Marca carrying quotes from the playmaker. He said: “Do I believe in miracles? We know it will be difficult, but we will give it our all. Everything is possible in football.”
Elsewhere, Marcelo is stepping up his training and is aiming to make a comeback from his injury in time for the final of the Copa del Rey.
