Roberto Firmino says Liverpool will be happy to draw another Premier League team in the Champions League as he backed the club’s fearless approach to take them further in the competition.

Liverpool reached the last eight for the first since 2009 with a comfortable two-legged win over Porto, although beyond Anfield there is little expectation Jurgen Klopp’s side will make it to the final in Kiev.

Considering there are so many English teams still in the competition - and Klopp’s exceptional record against top four rivals since his move to Anfield - that is surprising. Firmino believes that could be a factor, but would equally relish one of the European giants.

“Yes, we'd like a draw against an English club. Why not?” said Firmino.

“We have shown in the past few seasons we can beat all the English clubs. Our record is good against them.

“We feel we have played well against the top English clubs and shown we can beat them. But we are not afraid of anyone in the draw.

“We are not concerned who we get. We don't mind. We are not afraid. I don't think we have anything to fear from any side now.

“If you are in the draw (at this stage) then you can not be afraid of anyone. We feel we can beat any side on our day, and we don't mind who we get. I think we are a team who will cause problems to others.

“Of course they are good teams. They are all good teams (left in the draw). But I don't think it matters to us (who we get). We are a good team, we can play against the big Spanish teams and we feel we can be a match for them. You have to play against the big teams.

“Liverpool want to win a trophy. We are all concentrating on that, and that is the aim at this stage. We are doing well in the Premier League and we want that to continue and we are now in the Champions' League quarter final and we want that to continue.”

Firmino was unable to add to his goal tally against Porto, Liverpool adopting a more conservative to protect their comfortable lead.

“We did everything to score. There were chances, we played well and should have won the game,” said the Brazilian.

“I don't think it's a problem if you play well and don't score, when you are creating chances.

“I would like to have scored, yes. But we are through, we are in the quarter final, we have another round and we are playing well. We believe we deserve to be in there. We have scored a lot of goals and we are confident.”
