Dortmund rested their star players at the weekend in their 2-1 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf, with Robert Lewandowski, who scored all four goals in the win over Real Madrid, coming on as a late substitute.If we play like we did in Dortmund then it's difficult to see us doing it," he said. "But if we play the same way we have played in many games and we have the spirit to win a great game, we will do it.Real will have forward Cristiano Ronaldo back for the game after he missed their derby win at Atletico Madrid with a thigh injury.We are an excellent team and we have excellent players. We are going to play to try and go through. We have to go for it right until the end of the game. Football is football and everything is possible.Manager Jose Mourinho said: "We could play with certain people that we do not normally play with and with an unusual system. So I will not say anything. Cristiano Ronaldo is fine. Alvaro Arbeloa and Marcelo are injured and the rest are available.Real Madrid believe they can come back against us," he said. "And, if they believe so, they will act accordingly. We are ready for Real Madrid to try everything they can and we do not feel that we are already in the final.Mourinho says his team can overturn the 4-1 deficit, a comeback achieved only once in Champions League history - when Deportivo beat AC Milan 5-4 on aggregate in 2004.
