While Liverpool are considered one of the less likely teams to win the Champions League, just in front of PSV and Porto, Jamie Carragher has no problems with being placed as underdogs. The draw for the quarter finals takes place next Friday.

Carra told Liverpoolfc.tv

"We are just delighted Liverpool, a great name and a great club, is in the quarterfinals," he says.

"I'm sure we will be considered one of the outsiders in the last eight, and probably rightly so, because there are a lot of teams left in who are winning trophies and titles in their own countries.

"But the best teams don't always win the Champions League - anything can happen. I'd imagine every game will be tight and could go either way. In a one-off game anything can happen.

"AC Milan and Chelsea will be looked upon as being among the best teams in Europe. We're probably not up there but we want to go as far as we can.

"We're happy to be here and have probably done a lot more than many people thought we would at the start of the season. But we're not just going to give up and take it easy in the next round."

Joining Liverpool in next Friday's draw will be AC Milan, Chelsea, Lyon, PSV Eindhoven, Bayern Munich, Juventus and the winners of the Porto v Inter Milan tie.
