Champions League glory is Dortmund's dream, says Santana
the final at Wembley
and says BVB will do everything
in their power to make their desires a
reality
Felipe Santana admits Borussia Dortmund are dreaming of Champions League glory as they prepare to face Real Madrid in the first-leg of their semi-final on Wednesday.BVB
saw off Malaga in their quarter-final with a stunning late show in the
second leg, while los Blancos comfortably beat Galatasaray - leaving
both clubs just two games from the final at Wembley.And the
Brazilian admits reaching the showpiece would be the realisation of a
childhood dream, while speaking of the mutual respect between the two
sides."If you're talking about the Champions League, of course it's our dream," the 27-year-old told Uefa.com."To
play in the Champions League and to reach the final is the dream of not
just me but that of all children born with the desire to play football."We
are facing Real Madrid and we already know each other. There is mutual
respect and we know about the difficulties. So we will put into practice
everything we have shown so far in the Champions League, so we can
leave [the second leg] with a victory and continue our dream."Santana
has done battle with both Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic for a
centre-back slot this season and he believes the competition for places
will prove to be a good thing in their quest for European success."Personally
speaking, I think that in terms of how I feel as a player, I'm at 100%
which is good for Borussia Dortmund," he added."Borussia
Dortmund benefit because they have three [centre-halves] at the same
level. And at any moment any of us can play and play well."
