Anyone but Sevilla! Liverpool fans pick their fav Champions League opponents
Liverpool fans have picked who theyâd rather face in the Champions League quarter final after the last eight teams were confirmed.
After Sevilla knocked Manchester United out the competition and Barcelona handed a footballing lessen to Chelsea, the Reds and Manchester City remain the only English teams left in the competition.
Also going for silverwear are Real Madrid, Roma, Juventus and Bayern Munich. All the teams left in the competition are quality and there will be no easy matches from here.
However, there are definitely sides in the top bracket who youâd rather not play until as late in the competition as possible and theyâd include the two Spanish giants of Madrid and Barca as well as Bayern Munich.
City and Juventus might shade in there, but Mohamed Salahâs former outfit Roma are arguable one of the weaker teams left in the Champions League â and youâd back yourself to beat Sevilla as well. And thatâs who a lot of fans want to play in the next round as well!
Despite that, Liverpool found getting past Andalusian team tricky and their last three games against each other have culminated in two draws and a Europa League final defeat.
