Villareal striker Llorente happy to take on Chelsea, Liverpool

Villareal's Joseba Llorente says he is happy to take on either Chelsea or Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The Spanish outfit managed to get past Greek club Panathinaikos in the round of 16 thanks to a goal from Llorente and now he has his sights set higher.

"Every team is very strong, but I'd be happy to take Chelsea, for a change, or Liverpool, whose captain Gerrard has said he wants to face us," Llorente told a press conference.

"Whatever the adversary is, Villarreal can beat anyone."
