'We agreed we'd love to draw Barcelona' - Dortmund star Reus relishing Champions League test

Borussia Dortmund are relishing taking on Barcelona in this season's Champions League group stage following Thursday's draw, with Marco Reus claiming the Spanish giants are exactly who the Bundesliga side wanted to face.

Barca, Dortmund and Inter were paired alongside Czech champions Slavia Prague in Group F, with the action set to get under way in mid-September.

Dortmund captain Reus said he and his team-mates had been hoping to end up alongside La Liga holders Barca, who have not reached the final in any of the past four years.
