'Always believe': Underdogs Dortmund aim to shock Real Madrid in Champions League final

Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic believes "anything is possible" as his side aim to shock Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final at London's Wembley stadium.

The star-studded Spanish giants are heavy favourites to be crowned European champions for the 15th time, and a sixth in the last 11 seasons, against a Dortmund team that have beaten the odds just to make it to the English capital.

Madrid have lost just twice in 54 games in all competitions this season, storming to the title in La Liga by 10 points and thrashing Barcelona 4-1 to lift the Spanish Super Cup along the way.

However, they have had to once again dig deep to reach what coach Carlo Ancelotti described as the "biggest game of any season" in the Champions League.

Ancelotti's men withstood a barrage from defending champions Manchester City to win their quarter-final tie on penalties before another legendary late fightback at the Santiago Bernabeu to beat Bayern Munich in the last four.

"We never stop believing, no matter how the circumstances are," said Luka Modric, who along with Nacho, Dani Carvajal and Toni Kroos, in the final match of his club career, can win the European Cup for a record-equalling sixth time as a player.

"We always believe, keep believing, keep pushing, fighting until the end. In the end, we manage to find a way to beat opponents.
