Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl knows exactly who he would rather face in the next round of the Champions League — and it is not Bayer Leverkusen.
That’s right, Eberl wants to tangle with Atlético Madrid.
“When you say European cup, you’d prefer to play internationally,” Eberl told Tz (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Eberl knows there were no good options, but facing a new opponent rather than Bayer Leverkusen, who Bayern Munich has already played three times this season, is likely better for everyone.
Now, it is just a waiting game for the Bavarians, who are preparing to face Eintracht Frankfurt this weekend.
