Anyone but Sevilla! Liverpool fans pick their fav Champions League opponents
Liverpool fans have picked who they’d 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 you’d rather not play until as late in the competition as possible and they’d include the two Spanish giants of Madrid and Barca as well as Bayern Munich.
City and Juventus might shade in there, but Mohamed Salah’s former outfit Roma are arguable one of the weaker teams left in the Champions League – and you’d back yourself to beat Sevilla as well. And that’s 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.

Don’t care. Liverpool on a good day will take on any of them. Like when we out played Man City. They did not know what hit them. Some of those teams expect the opposition to show to much respect

Getting to the quarter finals of the main European show is exciting for any team and Reds fans are surely dreaming of a repeat of Instanbul.
There has been definite improvements under Jurgen Klopp, but as the defeat to United on the weekend shows, there is still some work to be done.
But with one of the best forward lines in football, anything can happen if everything clicks into gear for Liverpool – just look at the 4-3 win against City.
