Juninho, Ronaldo, Reus … All reactions after the draw of the Champions League – Champions League

Jean Michel Aulas (President of Lyon, versed in group G with Zenith Saint-Petersburg, Benfica and RB Leipzig): "It's a balanced draw. By being in the 3rd hat, we could have imagined many much worse things. Now, always be wary. This is my 23rd successive draw. And often, when they appeared easy, we had disappointments. When they were extremely difficult like last year, we were able to qualify. You have to be weighted. But if we are at our level and if we know how to do the work, as we try to do in Lyon, there is obviously a possibility to pass. We play the champion of Russia and Portugal. You have to be careful. At least for the search for the UEFA ranking of France, it is important because they are competing countries. It's true that it's less prestigious than last year. We have the ambition to qualify. We will try to be first. "(AFP)

Juninho (sports director of Lyon): "It is very dangerous to think that it will be easy. Benfica is champion of Portugal, the Zenith, champion of Russia. Leipzig is a very organized team, against which it is very difficult to play. For me, the key will be to impose on us. If you win all three home games, you have nine points and you take a big step. But I tell the fans not to ignite at all. We need respect for all our opponents. Me, I'm pretty satisfied, it's a playable band. First or second does not change anything. The goal is to qualify. "(AFP)

Markus Krösche (Sports Director Leipzig): "We can be happy with our group, when we see the others, we really fell into a good group. We have real opportunities to win matches. Obviously in the Champions League there are only good teams and we will have to go to our limits, but I repeat, when we see the other groups, the number is a good group. "(AFP)

"Real Madrid is a great club, which we know well for having faced it often."

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (President of Paris SG, poured into Group A with Real Madrid, Bruges and Galatasaray): "We knew we would face great teams, it's the Champions League, and to go far, you have to play against big clubs. We are looking forward to playing these beautiful posters. Real Madrid is a great club, which we know well for having faced it often. They have won 3 times the competition over the last 4 years, but we are Paris Saint-Germain and we will be ready for these two big matches against them. Our goal is to go as far as possible, for this, it will be necessary to figure well in this group phase. "(PSG website)

Emilio Butragueño (Director of Institutional Relations of Real Madrid): "Every year it's the same, it's a competition that is extremely demanding, with the best clubs, the best players, we will have to show our best level to qualify for the next draw (eighths, Ed) , which is our goal. There is not much to add about Paris Saint-Germain and its potential, it is one of the candidates for the title. As for Galatasaray and Bruges, they are very solid at home, with the support of their audience. Each game will be a final, every detail will be decisive in such balanced matches. "

Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus striker Turin, paid in group D with Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Lokomotiv Moscow): "It's a good draw, difficult as always. But I am very proud of my team. It will be hard but I am confident. We have a new system, a new coach, new players, so it's difficult. But that's normal. The Champions League is always tough, there are so many teams that want to win it. I am impatient, very confident. "(Sky)

Javier Zanetti (vice-president of Inter Milan, paid in group F with FC Barcelona, ​​Borussia Dortmund and Slavia Prague): "We're going back to Barcelona. We know their potential but we will play our luck. We can compete with the other two teams. We will try to prepare ourselves better. Antonio Conte brought a new mentality. He managed to convey a lot to the group. In C1, we want to compete with everyone. We have a team that can improve, the course of Antonio is just beginning. We will try to make a great group stage, to go to the 8th finals and then we'll see. "(Sky)

"The matches against Barcelona will be gala matches for us and the fans."

Marco Reus

Marco Reus (captain of Borussia Dortmund): "A few players from the team gathered this morning at breakfast and all agreed on one point: we would be very happy to shoot Barcelona. Huge that it has come true! The matches against Barcelona will be gala matches for us and the fans. We have confidence in our qualities, and one goal: to move to the next round. "(Borussia website)

Lucien Favre (coach of Borussia Dortmund): "It's really a very difficult group. This is even more of a challenge for us. On Barça, Messi and company, there is nothing to say. Inter wants to return to the top in Italy and has invested a lot for that this summer. And even Prague was eliminated last year in the quarterfinals of the Europa League by Chelsea. We think positive: it's a good thing to play against such teams. "

Manuel Neuer (captain of Bayern Munich, poured into group B with Tottenham, Olympiakos and Etoile Rouge): "Even though Piraeus and Belgrade are two strong teams, I think the race for the first two places will be played between us and Tottenham. Tottenham have a very good team, the club showed it last season in the Champions League and during the preparation for the Audi Cup in Munich (Tottenham beat Bayern in the final of this friendly tournament in July). But I'm looking forward to the other two opponents, there will certainly be a great atmosphere for our away games. "(Bayern Munich website)

Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich striker): "Personally I have never played against Tottenham, it's a very interesting opponent. It's going to be two exciting matches against last year's finalist. But in the end, our goal must be to get out of the group first. "

Gérard Lopez (president of the Lille OSC, versed in group H with Chelsea, Ajax Amsterdam and Valencia) : "It's hard not to be happy to play good teams. What I expect is that we are able to deploy our game and rely on our strengths. Our culture is to do first, to look after. I'm sure if you get there, there will be something to the key. This draw avoids long trips that physically break the group, and it is great for fans to travel with us in real football cathedrals. These are beautiful posters at home also: Stade Pierre Mauroy is made for this kind of meetings. It will be an ideal scene. (official website of LOSC)

Petr Cech (Chelsea technical adviser, paid in group H with Ajax Amsterdam, Valencia and Lille): "All teams are tied. The one that will be most consistent throughout the six matches will pass. We never played Ajax or Lille. It will be discoveries for the club. I hope we will have the opportunity to qualify. We believe in our group, in our team. But we know that every game will be difficult. Lille has lost Pepe but it's a real team. Ajax also lost players, but it's a big club. As for us, we lost Eden Hazard. So we have to adapt. "
