Dortmund coach, Edin Terzic said: “It’s almost surreal. I think in the grand scheme of things we deserved to reach the final.
“I know we won’t be favourites and it will be extremely difficult. But it’s just one match and, over the course of one game, anything is possible. We’ve proven that already.”
