Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has urged his team not to worry too much about Barcelona as they prepare to face the holders in the Champions League next Wednesday.

The Reds return to European action in the Nou Camp in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Gerrard, currently away with the squad for warm-weather training in Portugal, said: 'We have got to go there with confidence.

'We have to have belief in our ability and we must not spend too much time worrying about Barcelona.

'If you do that you will give yourself nightmares because they are a great side.'
