Champions League Draw – Round of 16

‘We have five possible opponents and everyone is hard. People may think Basel is easy but we lost twice against them last year and they beat Liverpool and a few years ago they beat Man United, so I don’t think they are easy. Paris would be good because it is easy for us to travel and the fans to travel, but we can’t decide the draw.’

‘I am happy Man City and Arsenal went through because I work in England and I care about the prestige of English football. We have also Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton in the Europa League so I wish them well too.’

‘At the same time it is good for us if direct opponents in the Premier League are involved in European competitions. Man United are not, they have the same advantage Liverpool had last year in the Premier League and it is a big advantage.’

"At this level, there are only great teams."

"We will train and work hard to prepare for the double header."

"Chelsea have already won the Champions League and are top of their league."

"They will give everything to earn progression."

"Last year's elimination was painful. We will build on that to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

"It will be a great game against a great team, as are all Champions League matches."

"We will work hard to win these matches. I believe in my team. You have to respect Chelsea. We are very strong, we can win and we will work for that."

"Compared to last season, Chelsea have changed more than us. They are very strong with Drogba and Fabregas."

"It will be a very interesting match but we can win. Anyway, I'm very motivated and I will give everything to win."

"Chelsea is a good draw for us."

"I am very confident. I trust my coach and my players to display the best of Paris Saint-Germain."

"We learned a lot from the experience of last season, and we will work to have a different ending this year."
