Benitez wants to avoid rivals
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez would ideally like to avoid the other three Premiership clubs left in the Champions League. Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal also made the Quarter Finals - but Rafa would prefer a match with another European team.
"Our form is coming good at just the right time of the season," said the Spaniard.
"I would be happy to play another English team in the final but for now, I would prefer we were drawn against a non-English team because everyone knows that the top three in the Premier League are all outstanding. Very strong.
"The fact that four English clubs are in the quarter-finals shows that the Premier League is one of the best leagues in Europe and the world. The quality of the top four, the quality of the players, shows our league is very strong."
