Don't want to face Barcelona so early in Champions League: Harry Redknapp

Lauding his players splendid display to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp dose not want to face Barcelona so early.

Redknapp said: "Barcelona are the team you don't want to play. They made a side like Arsenal, who in our league pass teams to death, almost look out of their depth. I thought Barcelona's performance was one of the finest I have ever seen. They were simply amazing."

"For anyone to beat Barcelona will be really difficult. But we want to go as far as we can. Whoever comes our way, it's just great to be in the last eight," The Sun quoted him, as saying.

Redknapp was already planning his own celebration when he reached his home in Bournemouth.

He said: "I will have a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea when I get home and then probably take my dogs out for a long walk."

The Tottenham boss will know who his team will face when the draw, which will have no seeding, is made next Friday.
