“I think that this season it will be more difficult because any team in the quarter-finals can win it, except from Leicester probably.”

“It’s hard to say who is the favourite now, Juve are very strong I’m not sure Barcelona will qualify.”

The Bundesliga champions face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals later this month, and Rummenigge was full of praise for Juventus star Paulo Dybala.

 

Rummenigge added:“There are lot of good players out there. I’m thinking of Juventus’ Dybala for example."

"Trouble is, big players are not going to be sold unless you spend crazy money.

"Nobody sell big players. The big difference between my times and these times is that when I was playing there was always a reachable price-tag."
