FC Augsburg general manager Stefan Reuter feels his side’s Europa League Round of 32 clash against Liverpool is a highlight for the club.
The Fuggerstadter earned promotion to the Bundesliga in 2011 and after securing a fifth placed finish last term, qualified for the Europa League.
Reuter is a former Bayern Munich, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund defender, who lifted the UEFA Champions League with Die Borussen and finished as UEFA Cup runners-up on two occasions.
Augsburg finished second in Group L behind Spanish outfit Athletic Bilbao and were paired with the English giants in yesterday’s draw.
The 49-year-old revealed that he started receiving calls from many people inquiring about tickets for the Liverpool game during the draw, as excitement gripped the Bundesliga side's fans.
