"Borussia" director Watzke: We did not expect such an opponent in the quarterfinals © EuroFootball.com

"Borussia" general director Hans-Joachim Watzke admits that in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, they wanted to avoid the Real Madrid club. Today in Switzerland, it became clear that once again, the champions of Germany and Spain will face each other in the tournament. Last season, these two teams clashed in the group stage and in the semifinals. "Borussia" surpassed the Madrid team in the group stage and also eliminated them before the big final. "We would have preferred a different opponent," - H-J.Watzke said after the draw ceremony. "We played against Real Madrid four times last season, but it is what it is. We eagerly await the match with this arguably the biggest club in the world," - added the German. Almost half of the team's players in "Borussia" have suffered injuries, so the chances of eliminating the "whites" seem minimal.
