Champions League last 16: I'd rather face Sporting | OneFootball

Having eliminated Inter Milan in the playoff, Bodo/Glimt is already looking ahead to the Champions League round of 16, where they might face Sporting or Manchester City. In the Nordic locker room, preferences are divided, but captain Patrick Berg left no room for doubt.

The midfielder revealed that he would like to play in Lisbon and justified his choice "because of the history." "What matters to me is facing teams that can bring us new challenges because that is always exciting. I would prefer to play against Sporting because it is a team I admire and has a rich history in the competition," he stated to TNT Sports.

Even so, Patrick Berg appeared calm about the possibility of facing the English champion again in the Champions League round of 16: "If we have to play them again, it won't be a problem," he remarked in the same interview.

It should be remembered that, in the league phase of the prestigious competition, the Norwegian champions hosted Manchester City, whom they managed to beat 3-1, a result that boosts the Scandinavian team's confidence for any scenario in the draw.
