FC Bayern Munich versus Lazio: "Italian teams are always uncomfortable"
Hasan Salihamidzic:
“We have had very good experiences so far in the Champions League.
We will prepare very well for these games and look forward to the games.
They are an unpleasant opponent, you saw that in the group against Dortmund.
It's always uncomfortable against the Italian teams.
It's always nice to travel to Rome.
These are all in all chunks that the German teams got. "
Borussia Dortmund versus FC Sevilla:
RB Leipzig versus Liverpool FC:
Borussia Mönchengladbach versus Manchester City: "Don't think they're screaming hurray now"
Max Eberl:
“In terms of sport, it didn't matter who we got.
Liverpool would have been by tradition.
Manchester City is the younger tradition now, we had it in the group stage.
It's a super exciting lot.
We deserved to make progress in the complicated group.
That's why I don't think they're screaming hurray now.
We are three or four years further than we were then.
We want to try to beat City with more strength and confidence than we did recently against Real.
It's a reflex now.
If something happens to the big players, Gladbach players and coaches are brought into play immediately.
We want to go into the future with Marco Rose, that is our goal. "
FC Bayern and BVB in luck - great hits for Leipzig and Gladbach: Ticker for the draw for the Champions League round of 16
