Manchester City football chief Txiki Begiristain is happy with their Champions League quarterfinal draw against Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund have established a reputation for being one of the continent's most exciting, attack-minded sides.

And, as he looked ahead to next month's matches, City director of football Begiristain said he was already eagerly looking forward to the prospect.

“I remember going to Dortmund in my first away game with City (in 2012) when we lost that game, and we went out of the group. So, you can see everything has changed at least from our side," Begiristain recalled.

“They are consistent, they are doing very well in Europe, they are always in the Champions League and in the group phase and also in this draw but City has changed a lot.

“We are consistent, we are there always getting in the quarter finals and keeping our dream to go through.

“They have a good balance between experienced players but also they have a lot of young players and talent there and they are working well.

“They love the box-to-box game and it's something we have to avoid. Try to break the line at the right time and to keep the structure solid when we lose the ball."
