Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez knows they face a tough battle in their Europa League quarterfinal draw with Benfica.
Portuguese league leaders Benfica have happy memories of facing Merseyside opposition in the Europa League this season with two wins against Everton in the group phase.
The first leg will be played at the Estadio da Luz on April 1 with the return game in England a week later on April 8.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is expecting a tough assignment.
"We know they are a good team and of course we have played them before in the Champions League," Benitez told the club's official website. "They are a massive club with a lot of support from their fans and it will be a tough game.
"They are top of the table and playing really well at the moment. I know a number of their players well - Aimar, Saviola, Garcia - so we know they have a lot of quality.
"It's always important that the second leg is at home in front of our fans. We know we have to perform away and then play well at home. We have the confidence to do that and are looking forward to the games.
"Because we have played Benfica before they will know Anfield and so may not be as scared as other teams, but we have to do things properly and try to go through."
