John Terry today hailed English football's potentially unique assault in the Champions League as "amazing" but admitted he wants Chelsea to avoid fellow Premier League giants in the quarter-finals.
After Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Olympiacos, the captain said he expected Liverpool to get through against Inter Milan next week, thus completing the unprecedented feat of one nation providing four quarter-finalists in the last eight.
And although confident that his resurgent Blues "have as good a chance as anyone" left in a competition which has already seen the demise of big clubs like Milan and Real Madrid, Terry conceded he didn't fancy being paired with either Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester United when the draw was made next week.
"When you've got this far and then draw someone in your own league, it is not the best thing and you don't really want to find yourself playing any of those three at this stage," said Terry, who has painful memories of two semi-final defeats at the hands of Liverpool.

The article in THE DAILY MAIL actually a little bit more longer but I cut it here. And that tells us enough. No one wants to meet Liverpool in the next round. I'm sure the sentiment is shared by Man.U and Arsenal. All three of them acknowledge that Liverpool is a different team in Europe. So the rightfully headline for this article is :
``Give us anyone but Liverpool, says proud Chelsea captain Terry''
``Give us anyone but Liverpool, says proud Chelsea captain Terry''
