Most Liverpool fans would be lying to you if they said they didn’t breathe a sigh of relief when the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals were made. There are very much “no easy ties” at this stage of the competition but it is also true that it isn’t too often that a team like Benfica (or Villarreal) get to the quarter-finals.

One other thing that is probably worth noting is that reports in Portugal are saying that 'super agent' Jorge Mendes is making a move to try and bring Nunez into his agency.
