Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson believes the German Bundesliga is threatening the Premier League's status as the most exciting league in the world.

For the first time since 1999, more teams from the Bundesliga made it out of the initial group stage of the Champions League than their English counterparts.

With Bayern Munich, Schalke and Borussia Dortmund all seeded for this morning's knockout round draw, they are well placed to make deep inroads in the competition.

So, with cheap ticket prices fuelling a soccer boom in the country, Ferguson believes they offer a genuine challenge to England's position.

"The Premier League is still the most exciting in Europe," Ferguson told www.eurosport.com.

"The great thing about our league is that anyone can beat you.

"It has always had that great quality and in general it is 100 per cent commitment, which the supporters recognise.

"But Germany is very successful at the moment also.

"The crowds there are fantastic and it is very cheap in relation to English football, which encourages supporter participation

"The stadiums are great and the games are good quality with a lot of goals.

"Germany is creeping up but ours is still the most exciting."

Celtic's progress this year has given Scottish football a much-needed boost.

The Hoops will be one of 17 possible opponents for Sligo and must progress through three rounds to reach the group stage.

Celtic beat HJK Helsinki and Helsingborg to reach the Champions League Group G.

The possibilities facing Arsenal after finishing as group runners-up are alarming, with Barcelona, PSG, Malaga, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Bayern Munich their potential opponents.

Manchester United will want to avoid the competition's second favourites Real Madrid most of all, but they can also draw Porto, AC Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia or Celtic.

The Hoops defied all expectations to qualify as group runners-up behind Barcelona and will face one of United, Malaga, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke or PSG.

Rafael Benitez insists the winners of the Champions League will be one of Europe's traditional heavyweight clubs.

Benitez, interim manager of ousted holders Chelsea, refuses to consider rising forces such as Shakhtar Donetsk and Paris St Germain as genuine contenders.

"Barcelona, Real Madrid, the English teams, Bayern Munich and Juventus are strong teams," said Benitez, winner of the competition with Liverpool in 2005.

"Obviously they're the big names and they'll be there again, it won't change too much.

"You can find a surprise in some seasons but because those teams are so strong, I don't see there being any surprises this year."
