Borussia Dortmund want to use the remaining two games in the Bundesliga as preparation for the Champions League final and have not forgotten how Mainz cost them the title last season. Dortmund visit Mainz on Saturday knowing they will finish at least fifth and so qualify for next term's Champions League irrespective of whether they beat Real Madrid at Wembley on June 1. Mainz meanwhile are in the relegation play-off spot and are desperate to escape. But last season their 2-2 draw with Dortmund meant Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga instead of the Black and Yellows. "We want to achieve somethin...

But Dortmund's coach was not surprised. "The belief we could reach the final was already there from early on," Edin Terzic said. "We spoke about it for the first time before the first leg in Eindhoven (in the last 16). The faces ...

Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said his side could give even more than last week's 1-0 first-leg win when they visit Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday in their Champions League semi-final second leg. The Black and Yellows ran almost 10 kilometres more than the French side at home, with Niclas Füllkrug's strike making the difference. Despite the lead, Dortmund are arguably still the underdogs in the contest but that suits the coach just fine. "The Paris Saint-Germain project has been built to win this title. That's their mission. But we have a huge dream - and we want to fulfil it. If necessa...
