<span class="sommario">Bayern trainer Ottmar Hitzfeld has admitted the draw for the Uefa Cup made today will pose a challenge for his Bayern Munich side.</span></p>

Bayern have been drawn in Group F along with Bolton Wanderers, SC Braga, Red Star Belgrade, and Aris Thessalonika. </p>

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a challenging draw that we have received with some very good teams&rdquo; Hitzfeld admitted after the draw in Nyon.</p>

&ldquo;It is not an easy draw and we&rsquo;ll have to watch out&rdquo; added manager Uli Hoene&szlig;.</p>

Bayern begin the group stage with an away trip to Belgrade to play Red Star. &ldquo;We have already been eliminated from European competition by them before&rdquo; remembered Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.</p>

Bayern were knocked out of the European Cup in 1991/92 by the former Yugoslavian team.</p>

&ldquo;In Braga we have another Portuguese team, which won&rsquo;t be a walk in the park. We saw that against Belenenses Hoene&szlig; warned.</p>

However, start striker Miroslav Klose is confident. &ldquo;If all our players perform and concentrate then we should definitely progress&rdquo; he said.</p>
