Manuel Neuer on the meeting with Shakhtar in the Champions League

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer commented on the results of the Champions League main stage draw.

"These will be very exciting matches against extremely good opponents. But we are entering the new phase of the league with the confidence that we will automatically qualify. We want to show what we can do against other teams and how we can win, especially in games against teams from the first basket.

"Shakhtar is a team that has been playing in the Champions League for many years. This match will take place in my native Gelsenkirchen. Of course, this stadium is home for me and very special," Neuer was quoted as saying by Bayern's official website.
