The Manchester City boss who led his side to **WSL** glory last season gave his reaction to the draw in his press conference on Friday afternoon, as he prepares to face **Birmingham City** on Sunday in the opening game of the season.

He said: "There will be a lot of questions, are you pleased with the draw? It's almost like if you look at the teams that you can play it's like when are you pleased and when are you not pleased. So my feeling is it's definitely challenging games, and also exciting for our home fans to see some great teams coming here."

"We are travelling to Sweden and playing in Sweden, I like that, so it's great and I'm really really happy that we are in this tournament again, which we definitely deserve, so looking forward to those games."

"It's an opportunity for more players to get minutes to play against the highest level of teams in Europe, an opportunity for the squad rotations, an opportunity to challenge yourself against other good teams, so challenges yeah, but mostly opportunities I would say."
