Thomas Tuchel, Dortmund coach
We have analysed their recent games in terms of how they have been playing. Of course we recognise the quality of Real Madrid – the likes of Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema are of the highest quality there is. Madrid are maybe the biggest name in world football, so there will be an incredible atmosphere in the stadium.

It's easy to say 'Cristiano Ronaldo is not in form', but who is judging that? Will that really be the case? Cristiano is one of the world's best footballers and an incredible winner who can help his team simply though his presence and aura. The biggest games tend to bring out the best in big players, so we are preparing for the best Ronaldo there is.

Zinédine Zidane, Madrid coach
Every player who is substituted before full time is angry [including Ronaldo]. We have spoken with each other after the game, but that was a normal thing, it happens. We have moved on.

The points we have dropped lately, it happens. It can even happen several times in a season. The important thing is how we are working on the goals we have for this term. The team are in good shape I believe. Sometimes these matches serve as wake-up calls. I am not worried. Some things we can improve.

I expect a hard-fought game. They have a couple of new players, but that has not changed their philosophy. They want to play football, but so do we.

Reporter's view: Steffen Potter (@UEFAcomSteffenP)
Dortmund v Real Madrid – there have been classics in recent years and I was lucky enough to be in the stadium for Robert Lewandowski's historic four goals in the 2012/13 semi-finals, one of the most intense football games I have watched live. Somehow, Dortmund know very well how to play Madrid in their own stadium and, with the hosts in such dazzling form, I expect this to be no different. With their quality, it is of course not out of the question that the European champions will land their first ever win at this venue, but I can absolutely see this exciting BVB side taking at least a point from this match.
