Bruce: Champions League draw not easy for LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena admits none of the CONCACAF Champions League games are ever easy.

The reigning MLS champions were drawn alongside Trinidad & Tobago side Central and Guatemalan team Comunicaciones in Group D of the 2015/16 tournament and despite some suggesting it should be a walk in the park to qualify for the next phase, Arena is not so sure.

"None of these games are easy, regardless of who you play," Arena said.

"Obviously, MLS teams would not be any easier, for sure, but the travel would be a little bit more reasonable.

"There's a lot of pluses and minuses with everything. We'll just have to wait and see, wait until we get the schedule, figure out how we're going to approach those games, and move on. But there's no reason to believe we're not capable of winning the group and advancing to the quarterfinals."
