“We have a mountain in front of us”: Steve von Bergen, the sports director of the Youg Boys was on La Matinale RTN this Tuesday to discuss the club’s entry into the Champions League. YB faces Leipzig on Tuesday from 6:45 p.m. at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The Neuchâtel resident is aware that the Germans are favorites. “Leipzig beat Bayern Munich 3-0 less than a month ago in the German Cup final. It sets the scene.” And this is not the only meeting that will be complicated for YB in this group G. The Bernese will also face Manchester City, the reigning champions. For Steve von Bergen, everything should be decided once morest Red Star Belgrade, an opponent “almost within our reach. We played once morest them in 2019 and it ended in a draw. (…) We will have to be very good in these two matches.” The sporting director of the Youg Boys also indicated that the arrival of Manchester City at Wankdorf had symbolic significance, for Bern and for the whole of Switzerland. “It’s truly something exceptional. (…) There is nothing more beautiful than confronting these players.” Matches which will probably be played behind closed doors, as “is already often the case during championship matches”. /dpi-sma
