Tuchel: 'It is always difficult to face Man United at Old Trafford'

Today's Champions League last 16 draw brought many interesting fixtures, among which we can also count the one between Manchester United and Paris--Saint Germain. The coach of the French side Thomas Tuchel spoke to the media and reflected on the draw.

"Playing against Manchester United will be difficult because they have experience in this competition and it will be very difficult to play at the Old Trafford. A big challenge. If I were a spectator, I would watch this match on television," he said.

"I do not think we are favourites. We must respect the clubs that have this experience of major matchups in the Champions League, such as Manchester United. When you want to win a Grand Slam in tennis, you have to win several quarterfinals and semifinals. It can happen, but there are exceptions. We are capable of winning.

"It is important to show our hunger to win. It is important that in the first months we play every game thoroughly. We know we will play against Manchester United but there are important matches before. It would be a great mistake to plan for the match already now,"
