Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic is expecting a "brutally difficult" task on Tuesday as the Bundesliga side look to reach the last eight of the UEFA Champions League against Chelsea in London.

The German side are on a run of ten wins in ten games in all competitions and go into the second leg of their last-16 tie with a 1-0 lead from their home leg three weeks ago.

"We have shown that we are ready to support each other in all areas of the pitch" said Terzic adding "we have a massive chance tomorrow to become one of the eight most successful teams in Europe this season."

"I don't think that our form will be absolutely decisive tomorrow, rather it's simply a knockout game. So it's all about tomorrow night's game which we are at half-time in and only have the narrow advantage of the 1-0 win from the first leg. We know ourselves from our history this season that sometimes even 2-0 isn't enough, even in the 88th minute, to get over the line. So we have enough of a warning. We have seen what kind of potential this team has (Chelsea) and I don't think their position in the table corresponds to their actual performance. In the last weeks they haven't claimed the points that they really have deserved."
