TEHRAN, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Coach for Iranian football side Persepolis, Branko Ivankovic, confirmed that the team had been drawn in Group D, the toughest grouping in the AFC Champions League, local media reported on Sunday.

"We're in the toughest group of the tournament. Al Hilal is our strongest opponent, Al Rayyan is the Qatar Champion while Al Wahda as well as Al Ain are the best UAE team. We need to be at our best in order to have the chance of qualifying," Ivankovic told reporters.
