A.Zubizarreta: there are no weak opponents anymore, and "Atletico" - one of the strongest © EuroFootball.com

After the Champions League quarterfinal drawing ceremony, "Barcelona" sports director Andoni Zubizarreta shared his thoughts on the upcoming match against journalists.

As is known, the Catalan club will face Madrid's "Atletico" in a two-match showdown. They will also have to play against this team in the final round of the Spanish championship.

"Our future opponents have become one of the strongest teams in Europe. On the other hand, there is no longer any difference in who will be the opponent in the knockout stages. There are no weak clubs here. In the round of 16, we had to play against "Manchester City" - a team that many did not want to face. We managed to beat them, so now we will do everything to advance to the next stage," said one of the leaders of "Barcelona."

According to the Basque, now that there are two months left until the end of the season, it will become clear how the team will be able to handle the marathon of the remaining crucial matches.

"I still don't know how the Champions League matches will affect this weekend's match against Madrid's "Real", but now I see that the players' faces are burning with a desire to fight and they are satisfied," said A. Zubizarreta.
