Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is looking forward to once again pitting his wits against Bayern Munich, after the two sides were drawn together in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The two sides played each other in a memorable final in 1999, when two late goals from United at the Nou Camp earned them a dramatic 2-1 victory and Ferguson expects a similarly close-fought affair this time round.
"The history of playing Bayern in past European ties tells you it's going to be very difficult for us," Ferguson told uefa.com.
"It'll be a fantastic atmosphere in both games. They have a great stadium and a good pitch and we're up against a good experienced team. Hopefully we'll have everyone we need for the game and if we do then we have a good chance."
Bayern will host the first leg at the Allianz Arena on March 30, and the German club are looking forward to competing against their old rivals once again.
"At the moment they are a bit better than us, but that's the challenge: to use the small chance we have to reach the semis," Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
"We must not concede at home – 1-0 would be good. In United, we face a club with a similar approach to [FC] Barcelona, but English football suits us better."
