Rafa Benitez is determined to enjoy Liverpool's UEFA Champions League victory, with the Spaniard insisting he has no preference who his side face in the final.The Reds defeated Chelsea on penalties after Benitez had earlier masterminded his team's 1-0 win at Anfield via a first half goal from Daniel Agger.
Benitez admits his side had faced a stiff test of their mettle against The Blues, particularly in defence.
"It was difficult - we needed to score and not concede," Benitez told Sky Sports News.
"I thought we started well. After that we were under pressure because they have very good players and they were playing with Drogba, Robben, Wright-Phillips and then Kalou and it was very difficult to control them.
"We scored the goal but it was difficult to keep the clean sheet until the end. The penalties were very good and now we can enjoy."
Liverpool will learn their final opponents on Wednesday as Manchester United travel to Milan.
Benitez added: "If I say I want Manchester United then the people in Milan will be disappointed and if I say Milan the people in Manchester will be disappointed so I prefer just to enjoy."
