Dortmund: “They are a rival that we can compete with but it will be very difficult. Very, very difficult. They are the only ones who have been able to follow in Bayern's wake in recent years.”
Favorable draw: “I was happy to be in the draw, among the 16 best in Europe. I would have been just as happy with who the rival would have been. Let's throw it on the ground, it's Borussia Dortmund, Champions of the Champions League and who has been champion of group. Let's try to normalize the draw. “
Play off: “I like to play the return to the heat of my fans, but since we do not know what will happen in March and it is something that was planned, it is something that I do not stop. I do not see it as a factor as negative as in other circumstances”.
Current state of Borussia: “There is a market ahead, they have changed coaches … We will have time to study them carefully, but there are two long months left for the first leg and today it is difficult to assess how the teams will be.”
