José Luis Pérez Caminero assessed the Champions League draw for the group stage in which Atlético de Madrid has been placed in Group C along with Benfica, Galatasaray and Astana. Our Sporting Director considers that "we must be very respectful of the rivals we have been paired with in the draw. We will have to face the group with excitement and maximum tension. We will have to play against the champions of Portugal and Turkey and with the representative of Kazakhstan, which makes its debut in a group stage and will want to give a great impression in its debut."
Caminero analysed our opponents: "Benfica will be a tough opponent. It is a team that has strengthened greatly and which is used to compete in the Champions League. For its part, Galatasaray is a very powerful team, which is very strong at home, playing to its audience. It has tremendously experienced players as Sneijder, Muslera, Yilmaz or Podolski. And Astana is the first Kazakh club to enter the League of the continental showpiece and will try to show its best version to all of Europe."
