""I think you could just pick anything from any of those teams [we're facing]. It is so, so exciting to me - European football, and just to see different styles, different players of different qualities and calibres. I think it's going to be an excellent challenge for us. We definitely love a challenge and love being able to adapt to anything that we play against. But, right off the bat, I think we've got some really, really cool opponents to play against.""
