Atletico Madrid CEO Clemente Villaverde said on Monday that PSV Eindhoven, who will face his side in the European Champions League round-of-16, are a "strong side".
"We're really happy to be here for the third year in a row. PSV are a strong side, they're a side with a lot of history in Europe and I'm sure they'll make life difficult for us," Efe quoted Villaverde as saying after the draw in Nyon, Switzerland.
Atletico will visit Eindhoven in the first leg on February 24 and then will receive the Dutch football team in Madrid in the second leg on March 15.
