Champions League: Red Star Belgrade 'ready for very difficult group' - Boakye

Red Star Belgrade striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom believes the club is capable of standing up against the big boys in the Uefa Champions League this season.

The Serbian outfit are set to battle for one of two knockout stage tickets with five-time champions Bayern Munich, last year's runners-up Tottenham Hotspur and Greek giants Olympiacos.

“We are ready to play in the Champions League this season," Boakye told Ghanasoccernet.

"The qualification stages were difficult but with hard work and determination, we were able to qualify [for the group stage].

“I know our group is very difficult as we will come up against teams such as Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Olympiacos but we are confident we can beat them as well.
