Steven Gerrard has welcomed the draw with TNS in the first qualifying round of the Champions League and says that he and the rest of the team will show respect to the Welsh side. He said:

"We are going to be massive favourites, but we will treat TNS with respect. We won't underestimate them. This will like their World Cup final, it is that sort of occasion.

"It is a great draw for TNS. I am sure our lads will swap shirts with their players and I hope that they enjoy it.

"We won't take it easy because that's when these games become banana skins. I know they have a few Scousers in the their side and I am sure that a few of their players have dreamed of playing at Anfield. It is nice that dreams come true."
