Valencia were paired with English powerhouse Manchester United, Scottish champions Rangers and Turkish Super Lig league winners Bursaspor during Thursday's draw for the Champions League group stage.
Valencia 'keeper Cesar pointed out that it won't be easy for los Che to progress and made it clear that it'll be crucial to win their home matches.
"The competition will take place in four great stadiums and in a heated atmosphere. Therefore, it will be very important to record good results in the games where you have the support of the home crowd. The home matches will be crucial," said Cesar to AS.
"I'm confident that our opponents would rather have played against another team. We face the champions of Scotland and Turkey and one of the biggest teams around in Europe. It's not easy to win the domestic league, so we have to be respectful toward our opponents.
"Some might say that Bursaspor are the underdogs, but there always smaller teams that surprise. Look what happened to Sevilla in the play-off. I can't say who will be our biggest rival in this group."
