Manchester City" sports director criticized the Champions League draw © PA

„Manchester City“ sports director Txiki Begiristain was furious and shocked after the Champions League quarter-final draw - his team will face Real Madrid for the third consecutive year at an early stage.

The highly respected specialist stated that the pairs are very similar to last year, although the truth in this statement is actually scarce. Many teams have changed, and there are no identical pairs, except for the clash between „City“ and „Real“.

Speaking to the „Marca“ newspaper, Txiki said: „Again, some kind of shame, I'm tired of those balls, it's all the same over and over again.

After the drawn pairs are identical to last season, except that „Liverpool“ can be replaced with „Arsenal“.

 We will try to remember what happened last year and that we managed to reach the final“, - said the sports director of „Manchester City“.
