B Leverkusen 1-3 Liverpool
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez hailed a job well done as his side eased into the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

'It was a good first half and after Luis Garcia scored we played comfortably,' he said.

Benitez was cagey about his side's chances of lifting the trophy.

'We are not thinking about winning the Champions League, only waiting for the draw to see who we have next. But just maybe we can go all the way,' he said.

Captain Steven Gerrard, who was inspirational throughout the match for the Reds, said the team had their tactics spot on.

'We knew we could punish them on the counter. That is what we planned to do - we had seen the videos,' he said.

'We played well, the best we have played for a while.

'That was the gameplan - we never came here for a draw or a 1-0 defeat.'"
