Is there still hope for Real Madrid after 4-1 defeat in Dortmund? Let's consider what the ever optimistic Jose Mourinho has to say.
"It is obvious that Dortmund were the better side. They were more aggressive physically and mentally and they won virtually all the duels. I have the feeling that every goal was a mistake. And we had one or two more [mistakes] that could have [made the score] worse too but our goalkeeper made good saves.
"Over the last three years at Madrid I have met lots of people and they have told me lots of things about the club, including the importance of the Bernabéu [on European nights]," Mourinho continued. "Things seem impossible but they are not. There is still hope. If you asked the players now if there is a chance, they would say 'no'. Ask them in an hour and they will say 'yes'. By next Tuesday they will be ready to go for it and give everything.
"Of course we can do it. On a crazy night where everyone performs at a high level and you score every chance, you can do it. What you cannot do is get knocked out without dying on the pitch. If we are knocked out I want [Dortmund] to suffer and I want the Madrid players to leave the pitch with absolutely nothing left to give."
