Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso hopes to be paired with Real Madrid in today's Champions League draw.

The 27-year-old told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Of course, we always want to go to new stadiums. For example, we haven't played at the Bernabeu with Liverpool and it would be a good venue to play at.

"We have been back to Spain four times since I have been here. We won at Deportivo La Coruna and Real Betis, as well as Barcelona, and drew with Atletico.

"Hopefully if we go to Spain we can do the same again.

"Whoever we get it will be welcome, but if we get Real it will probably be more welcome."
