like!Borussia Dortmund 4-1 Real Madrid | UCL (Semi-final, 1st leg)
- Ronaldo: 43’ (Higuaín assist)
“The best team by far won. Individually and collectively Dortmund were better and deserved their victory. They were first to every ball and were far more intense than us. We found it hard to hold onto possession when they pressed. I think all of my players gave it their all. We can come back.” — José Mourinho“We were lacking in attitude and I point to myself first when I say that. It will be very difficult in the return leg at home but we must remain confident and try to react. When the draw for the semi-finals was made a lot of people thought this was going to be easy for us but this is a German team we are talking about; they are a great side.” — Sergio Ramos

“When I arrived at Real Madrid, I had a primarily defensive role. I was there to defend. But with the national team I was always more offensive and José Mourinho realised that.”
“I was often too impetuous and he has taken that out of my game. He told me to step back a little, play smarter, use my head more. I used to think I had to slog my guts out to help the team the best I could. I play in a subtler, calmer way than before. He has made me a strategist.”
“When I came to Madrid, everyone was talking about the Décima. Since I didn’t speak any Spanish, I didn’t know what they were talking about. It took a while for me to understand, but at Madrid, the Décima is everything.”
