Iker Casillas: 'Real Madrid coped well under pressure'

Casillas: 'Real coped well under pressure'

Iker Casillas has said that Real Madrid knew how to cope with pressure after conceding twice against Borussia Dortmund this evening.

The La Liga side were 3-0 up after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, but a first-half brace from Marco Reus brought the German side back into the tie.

The goalkeeper told reporters: "The first goal we conceded was from our mistake and the second came from another error in midfield. We also missed a penalty. The good thing was that we then knew how to deal with being under pressure.

"Maybe it's good for us to receive a wake-up call like that from time to time. It's better that it came tonight and not in the upcoming games we have."

Real held on to secure a 3-2 win on aggregate, confirming their place in Friday's semi-final draw.
