Jurgen Klopp has admitted his relief at avoiding Manchester City and Chelsea in Friday's Champions League draw, which revealed Liverpool's path to the final.
The Reds will face Portuguese giants Benfica in the last eight of the competition, with the winners taking on either Villarreal or Bayern Munich in the semi-final. City, meanwhile, will take on Atletico Madrid and defending champions Chelsea will face Real Madrid.
The draw means Liverpool will only play a Premier League side if they and City or Chelsea reach the final. Klopp's side have a mixed record against English teams in Europe, beating Manchester United and Tottenham but losing to City.
