RAFAEL BENITEZ'S wife is tipping Liverpool to go on and win the Champions League. While the Anfield manager remains delighted at the prospect, he revealed he will be out of pocket if his side lift Europe's finest club trophy this season. Montse Benitez is no rookie, either, when it comes to predicting results. She was convinced Valencia would win the Spanish league and the UEFA Cup last season - and they did so. Benitez said: "When I was at Valencia my wife said that we would win the league. She was right and to mark the occasion she asked me for a new watch. "I bought her the watch, but then she said that we would win the UEFA Cup and that when we did she wanted another watch. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT "Now she says that we will win the Champions League and that she will want an even more expensive watch. My wife has a lot of confidence and a lot of watches!" Benitez insists he is more of a realist than a dreamer and knows it will be tough against Chelsea. However he takes heart from the fact his team managed to dispose of Juventus in the last round. "We are the underdogs because Chelsea are one of the best teams in the world."
