Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso doesn't mind who his Real Madrid team face in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals - as long as Real Madrid make the final at Wembley on May the 28th.

A 4-1 aggregate win over Lyon, who beat them at the same stage last year, saw Jose Mourinho's Madrid progress to the quarter-finals for the first time in seven years.

World Cup winner Alonso said: "A huge weight is off our shoulders. Any rival will be welcome now. If we get Manchester United, Barcelona or anyone else, we will deal with them in the same way. Our aim is to win the trophy."

Alonso's former club Liverpool crashed out of the Europa League last night to Portuguese outfit Braga.
