Tuchel: 'BVB, a special atmosphere'
Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel spoke to PSG TV about the UEFA Champions League draw that sees Les Rouge et Bleu take on the coach's former club Borussia Dortmund!
The draw for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 took place in Nyon on Monday and Paris Saint-Germain now knows that they will face Borussia Dortmund on 18 February, with the return match at the Parc des Princes on 11 March. A double confrontation that sees Thomas Tuchel take on his former club.
"It's a very difficult draw. It's a totally even contest. It's hard to play in Dortmund, to win there. It's a very special atmosphere, with a lot of supporters. But it's also a great advantage to have the second game at home and it's also very difficult to play in the Parc des Princes against us, in such a special atmosphere," the coach told us.
"We have to produce our best game, but we have a lot of time to prepare for it. It's going to be very, very interesting against Lucien Favre. It's never easy because he's a great coach, with many qualities. Now the challenge is to stay calm, to be patient, to play. To get to the top of our form step by step in February," added the German.
