Benfica forward Darwin Nunez: We're not afraid of Liverpool

Benfica star Darwin Nunez insists his team isn't afraid of playing Liverpool at Anfield.

Liverpool have taken advantage in their Champions League quarter-final tie, having won 3-1 in Lisbon on Tuesday, but Nunez thinks his side can get a result on Merseyside.

"Yes, we wanted more, but it was not possible," Nunez told CNN Portugal. "We are confident, this was demonstrated in the second half.

"Liverpool are a great team, but we are not afraid of them. We will work to get a good result in the second leg.

"I'm not happy that I scored, what I want here is to win titles, not score goals. I go home sad."
