Gerrard's respect for Barca
-
Steven Gerrard insists Liverpool will not under-estimate Barcelona ahead of their meeting at Anfield.
The Reds claimed the upper hand in their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie with a 2-1 success at Camp Nou on Wednesday night.
Goals from Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise put the 2005 winners in with a great chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the competition.
But while Liverpool are in a strong position to qualify, club captain Gerrard is not taking a place in the last eight for granted.
The midfielder is aware of the holders' quality and admits The Reds can not afford to let their standards slip back on home turf.
"We've got an awful lot of respect for Barcelona, they're a fantastic side," Gerrard told Sky Sports News.
"We won't under-estimate them at Anfield in two weeks' time, we'll show them the same respect.
"We need to put in the same shift in two weeks' time and hopefully we'll qualify."
Liverpool will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their last home game with Barcelona, when the Spanish titans came from behind to win 3-1 in November 2001. -

Underestimating opponent at this stage of the game is a big No-No.
Cheers.
