Benfica coach Jorge Jesus believes the strongest sides left in the Europa League will meet when his team host Liverpool in their quarter-final first leg tonight.
The Portuguese league leaders are in a buoyant mood, having already beaten another EPL side and Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton 5-0 in Lisbon and 2-0 in the return game at Goodison Park in the group stages.
Jesus' side are a potent attacking force with the likes of Javier Saviola, Pablo Aimar and Oscar Cardozo upfront.
The 55-year-old manager said his side will be paying particular attention to Fernando Torres, with the Spain international having scored 20 goals in his 26 starts so far this season. "Torres is very good at creating spaces in attack and finishing. So we'll keep our eye on him."
