Juventus coach Capello hopes to avoid Real Madrid, Chelsea

Juventus coach Fabio Capello admits he doesn't want to be drawn against either Real Madrid or Chelsea for the Champions League knockout round.

"There are other dangerous teams that have finished second and it would be better not to meet powerful sides like Chelsea or Real in the next round," said Capello.

The former Real boss was also stunned to see Manchester United eliminated from European competition following Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at Benfica.

Capello, who is a friend and admirer of Sir Alex Ferguson, said: "It is incredible that Manchester United haven't even qualified for the UEFA Cup."
