Nothing is impossible in football, especially when you are Real Madrid and especially when your manager is Jose Mourinho but his side really do have a proverbial mountain to climb to overturn this first leg deficit.

A 4-1 hammering in Dortmund last week has left Madrid needing at least a 3-0 win on Tuesday night to progress. If Dortmund score once then Real Madrid need to score four just to take the tie to extra time. Two Dortmund goals in Madrid will leave Real needing six to qualify.

So it is possible? The bookies are giving Real Madrid some hope, offering just 4/1 (Betfred) on them making it to the Champions League final (Dortmund are 1/5) and an early goal or two will really put the jitters up a Borussia Dortmund side that almost threw their chance away when in control of their semi-final against Malaga. Only two injury time goals saved them that night and a repeat of a great escape if they fall behind here is probably beyond their powers of luck.

Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid have played 17 times at home in this competition, winning 14 of those and ten of those wins have come by three goals or more, the margin needed for any chance of progression on Tuesday.

Dortmund are still unbeaten in this season’s Champions League, but they rode their luck in the last round and will probably be beaten by Real Madrid on Tuesday, but will the margin of victory be enough?
