Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic knows he faces a huge task facing Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final.

Terzic rates Ancelotti as one of football's great coaches.

He said: "It's truly an incredible story. I don't want to talk too much about my story because we, as a team, did something incredible. Reaching the Champions League final is something that deserves to be told.

"I was a youth coach, assistant coach of Dortmund but first of all I am a fan like all those who start working in the world of football. Now I am the coach of the Borussia Dortmund first team and I am happy and proud to go and play in the Champions League final with my team.

"If you win the Champions League 14 times it means you are very attached to that competition. Ancelotti has won a lot, he has great experience but he too found himself in my situation, 5 days before the first final and the first Champions League victory. I have great respect for Ancelotti, he has won a lot and with different teams: he is one of the best coaches in the history of football."
