>> Champions League: the complete draw
“I was afraid to fall into group C [face au Bayern Munich, à Barcelone et à l’Inter Milan notamment] it would have been a little too hard for us“, admits Christian Cataldo, “the A and the C had to be avoided at all costs.“As for OM’s chances,”anything is possible if we win our home games“, adds the president of the Dodgers.
“For me Tottenham is the scarecrow of the group“, nevertheless moderates Christian Cataldo, “but the group has changed, the coach has changed. It’s not the same OM who arrives: we have players who have Champions League DNA. A player like Alexis Sánchez, that’s where he’s going to be important.“
And the faithful of the Vélodrome to add: “We will take match after match, let’s qualify already. I’m cautiously optimistic. But we hope that we will restore our image, we will believe in it until the end.“
