Crouch does not want English draw for Spurs in Champions League

Tottenham striker Peter Crouch hopes they can avoid an English team in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Crouch admits he wants to face more continental opposition.

He said: "Looking at Barcelona against Arsenal, we wouldn't mind ­avoiding them to be honest.

"They were fantastic and are the team to beat.

"The other English sides are very strong, but over two legs we can beat anyone.

"The whole thing about playing in Europe is playing against big European teams and, if we can avoid the other English teams, it would be better."
