Frank Lambard speaks of the challenge with Atletico Madrid

Lamard's team ended up at the helm of Group E, but were given a complicated test in the phase of direct elimination against Diego Simeone's team. Athletico has suffered only two losses in all races this season.

I think most people mean it's the hardest draw we could have had when you look at their present form, how they're walking in La League, European experience, team quality and players, I think most people would say that.”, Lambard said.

“On the other hand, I think all the challenges are difficult in the Champions League. We should have faith in ourselves for this fight. We're gonna have to try to beat these teams if we want to win the Champions League, so that's what it is. I'm saying any opponent would be difficult“

“So I think most people would say that they were certainly one of the hardest teams we could have on paper. We'll just have to show up and do our job and make sure we can beat them.”, Frank Lambard said last.
