Terim: "Going to be prepared to do our best"

Terim: "Going to be prepared to do our best"

After the draw that decided our group and opponents in 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League group stage, our coach Fatih Terim gave his comments about the result to Galatasaray TV.

Here are our coach's evaluations about Group A and our opponents Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid CF and Club Brugge:

"First of all, I wish this draw to be for the best of Turkish football and Galatasaray. We are drawn to one of the most important groups in Champions League. Everybody want this or that group but no group is easy in Champions League. That's a reality. To participate in Champions League, to listen to that anthem, preparing for such a draw, even the anticipation or expectation of this or that team is beautiful. To live the excitement of Champions League is very beautiful."

"Paris Saint-Germain is one of the contenders for the big trophy. Especially after last year's disappointment, they are going to prepare better for this season. We don't even need to talk or comment about Real Madrid. They were the champions of 2017-2018 Champions League. These two teams are among the contenders for Champions League trophy. Our other opponent Club Brugge is a team that we played before. They are a rising force in Belgian football along with Genk. We are going to prepare ourselves to show the best of our abilities and we are going to fight until the very end. I cannot tell what results we are going to take but we are going to do our best to represent our country and our club. We are going to try to do even better than the best of ourselves. Whatever the results will be, we are going to be prepared to do that."
