Reus: We wanted to draw Barcelona
The Borussia Dortmund players had a wish fulfilled when they were drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League, says BVB captain Marco Reus.
Borussia Dortmund were drawn in a rather difficult group at Thursday's Champions League group stage draw, with the Bundesliga side set to face FC Barcelona, Inter and Slavia Prague.
But the BVB players have faith in themselves, says captain Marco Reus, who reveals they were actually hoping to be drawn against Barcelona.
"We have faith in our quality. Our goal? To get to the next round," Reus said in an interview on Dortmund's website and added:
"Today, a few of the lads were chatting at breakfast and we all agreed that we'd love to draw Barcelona. Amazing that it has happened in the end!"
Borussia Dortmund were beaten by Tottenham in the round of 16 last season.
