Bayer Leverkusen director Rudi Voller admitted that his side will need to be in top form against an off-form Barcelona to have a chance of going through.

Barcelona are favourites in the Champions League final 16 tie against Bayer Leverkusen, and Voller agrees.

The former Germany international believes that luck will have to play a large part for Leverkusen to reach the quarterfinals.

Voller told reporters after the draw was made: "We're clear outsiders, but we have a spark of hope.

"We have to play dream football twice and Barcelona have to have bad days. But we won't hide, otherwise we might as well not turn up."

CEO Wolfgang Holzhauser echoed Voller's sentiments, and feels that even if his side lose, the tie will be enjoyable.

"Well the anticipation is bigger than the frustration. It will be nice, for sure," said the executive.

The first leg of the tie will be played at BayArena on 14th February.
