Keane: No fear
Liverpool striker Robbie Keane insists the club fear no-one in Friday's UEFA Champions League draw.
Ahead of the draw for the last 16 - which you can follow live on Sky Sports News and skysports.com from 10.30am on Friday, Keane is confident the Reds can progress whoever they are paired with.
Liverpool will either face Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, Lyon, Villarreal or Inter Milan after winning their group and Keane is adamant Liverpool's record in the competition means teams will be aiming to avoid them in the draw.
"There's certainly no fear as far as we are concerned," said Keane.
"You know when you get to the knockout stages of a competition, like the Champions League, that you are going to come up against a quality side. That's just the way it is.
"But we won't be worrying about who we get. We have come through as group winners so maybe that means the other teams in the draw would prefer to avoid us.
"The record of this club in this competition is fantastic, so hopefully other teams will be looking at us and thinking they'd rather be drawn against another team, especially with the second leg being at Anfield.
"We'll just see who we get and move on from there, but we don't fear anyone."
