"You are our strength"

The dressing room trusts in Cristiano Ronaldo to lead a comeback

'You are our strength'. The motto chosen by the Real Madrid players as it attempts to stage a comeback is aimed at the club’s fans, but it could easily be aimed at Cristiano. Madrid needs its star now, more than ever. Any chance that Mou’s men have of pulling of a miracle against Dortmund tomorrow will depend greatly on an inspired performance from the Portuguese. Cristiano knows it and he is more motivated than ever before.
Many members of the squad firmly believe that a comeback is possible, but some of them do not hesitate to admit that CR7 is convinced that tomorrow is going to be a night for the history books. Such is the belief of Real’s number 7. Madrid is clinging to his faith, but above all, to his goals. The latter is exactly what Cristiano has brought to the side since his arrival at the club.
To be exact, the Portuguese has scored 198 competitive goals since his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu. What better moment could there be to reach his 200th goal with Madrid than tomorrow against Dortmund? If Cristiano scored a brace, he would leave Real Madrid only one goal away from the Wembley final.
Madrid cannot live without Cristiano. The Portuguese has carried the team in its quest to win its tenth European Cup title. He has now scored in six consecutive European games and has been crucial in every tie.
