After the UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw was revealed, Manchester United's head coach Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that he is a little nervous that their opponent will be Real Madrid.

The longtime "Red Devils" strategist was not surprised by these draws, and the Scot says that he hopes to meet and chat with former team leader Cristiano Ronaldo and also with Jose Mourinho during these matches.

"This is a great opportunity for our club's fans to see Cristiano at "Old Trafford" stadium again, I will also try to chat with Jose and order some good wine again!" - Ferguson joked.

"Indeed, I was actually hoping that we would have to face Real. They are a very strong team, but it is possible for us to beat them," - concluded the strategist.
