When the draw for the Champions League was completed, it was clear that it would be really tough for Rosengård.
Rosengård ended up in a super tough group with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Benfica.
- I spontaneously felt that now I have to tie on my jogging shoes, there will probably be a lot of running.
I also felt that it will be super fun and extremely inspiring to face Barcelona above all, says Olivia Schough to SVT Sport.
On October 27, Barcelona awaits at home in Malmö, where Schough will be pitted against national team mate Fridolina Rolfö.
The draw was completed when they were both at the national team meeting, but there wasn't much talk about the upcoming meeting.
- Fridolina came up and hugged me yesterday and said that we will meet soon but no more than that.
It is the first time Rosengård will play in the group stage in the Champions League, but Schough hopes the team can go in with a bang.
- It is clear that we enter that group as a team that many probably don't believe in.
We face three very good teams, three big teams and it's the first time we play group games as well.
We hope we can be an underdog that can surprise.
