Rafa content with CL draw

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is happy with his side's UEFA Champions League draw.

The Reds have been drawn with Lyon, Fiorentina and Debrecen in Group E as they aim for their sixth European crown.

Liverpool have not met any of the trio in European competition before and Benitez is happy his troops do not face any gruelling away trips.

"You know in the Champions League there will always be difficult games and tough teams to play against," said Benitez

"Lyon might not have won the league last season but before that they won it many years in a row, so we know they have lots of good players who can play good football.

"Fiorentina are an historic club in a nice city. I know from experience they have fantastic supporters because I spent some time there when Claudio Ranieri was the coach.

"And we have experience of Hungarian football because of our relationship with MTK, so if Debrecen have won their league then we know it means it's because they're a good side.

"The important thing as always is that the travelling isn't too bad, we don't have too far to go for any of the games. We're just looking forward to starting the competition now."
