Champions League: „I hope there won't be a third” – Dárdai about the draw

"I hope there won't be a third draw... As for the second, Bayern is better off with Salzburg than Atlético, even though the Austrian team could also be dangerous, it can counterattack anyone. Nevertheless, I will be surprised if the Bavarians don't advance. I am also curious about Ajax, which hardly regrets meeting Benfica rather than Inter in the end. I am convinced that Ralf Rangnick will pull Manchester United together, but I am not sure that that will be enough against Atlético. In this match, experience and discipline can decide in favor of the Spaniards, and also the fact that Diego Simeone's team is never easy to beat anywhere. The experience that Jürgen Klopp has gained in the Champions League in recent years, is also crucial in the Inter and Liverpool clash. If there is a team that has mastered the science of winning, it's Pool.PSG-Real? The Parisians have been so strong for years that they can be expected to be at least in the final four, and if they didn't play against Real, I would boldly say they would be in the semifinals this year, too. But Real is Real. Let's just say that this match is worth an early semifinal or even a final," Pál Dárdai told Nemzeti Sport.
