‘It’s a group of death’ - Jordi Cruyff reacts to Barcelona’s UCL draw

Jordi Cruyff has branded Barcelona’s Champions League draw a “group of death” after being drawn with Bayern Munich, Inter and Viktoria Plzen.

It’s certainly going to be a tricky test for the Catalans who failed to make it out of the group stages last season.

“It will be difficult, with strong and important teams, a group of death to enjoy and suffer,” said Cruyff although he’s glad his team won’t be facing Robert Lewandowski this time around.

“That’s the positive part, for him it will be a special game, but also for us because we’ve had three or four difficult games against them, but we have a different team than in other seasons.
