Liverpool's Spanish star Xabi Alonso has admitted he would prefer to avoid Champions League holders Barcelona in the last 16 but believes his side are suited to the role of underdogs.
After the Reds` final Group C match in Istanbul on Tuesday, a 3-2 defeat by Galatasaray, the Merseysiders must now await the draw in Nyon, Switzerland, due to take place a week on Friday, before discovering their first knock-out opponents.
Alonso revealed he is not too keen on Spanish opposition, admitting: "Now, I would prefer to avoid Barcelona. Maybe it would be great to meet them in the semi-final or the final. But whoever we are drawn against will be tough, the teams that have qualified are very difficult."
