“They are a great club with an important tradition and fans who are very warm. For both teams this will be a delicate challenge.
“Everyone expected that in our group we and Bayern Munich would easily progress, but Rudi Garcia’s squad will have taken a lot of positive charge from their win over CSKA Moscow.”
This week’s fixture reunites Dzeko with international teammate Miralem Pjanic.
“I spoke with Pjanic immediately after the draw, we are happy to face each other, we will swap shirts at the end.
“He is my friend but clearly we both want to win and to do our best to advance to the next round.”
