Pepe has confidence that Real Madrid can score three goals without reply against Borussia Dortmund next Tuesday.

Real Madrid centre-back Pepe has insisted that his side are capable of overturning the 4-1 Champions League semi-final deficit to Borussia Dortmund.

Pepe said that Real have scored three times in a game on plenty of occasions so there is no reason they cannot do the same when the two sides meet again in Madrid.

"Obviously we're not happy with the result tonight, but if there's one team who can turn this tie around on home turf, it's us, Real Madrid," UEFA.com quotes Pepe as saying.

"We need to score three goals in the return match and that's not impossible for us. We've done it many times before, especially at home.

"We didn't start either half well tonight and kept making the same old mistakes. If we can sort that out and fight for every minute of the second leg as if it were our last, we can still reach the final."

The return leg takes place next Tuesday night.
