Luka Modric wary of Borussia Dortmund threat

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has admitted that he is wary of the threat posed by Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League tie.

The German side knocked Madrid out at the semi-final stage of the competition last season and Modric has highlighted the strength of their attack as a cause for concern.

"We know how Dortmund play," UEFA.com quotes him as saying. "They are very dangerous on the counter-attack. We need to be careful when we lose the ball, we will need to get back quickly in defence.

"We must press them well. [As you say], winning 2-0 would be a great result for us tomorrow. We will look to score as many as we can. If we stop their best players from scoring I think that we can achieve a good result."

Modric is in his second season at Madrid, having joined from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2012.
