The Real Madrid defender does not want a Clasico showdown when the draw for the quarter-finals of the competition is made on Friday
Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is hoping not to be paired with Barcelona in Friday's Champions League quarter-final draw.
The Clasico rivals secured relatively serene progress from the last 16, double defending champions Madrid seeing off Paris Saint-Germain 5-2 on aggregate, while Barca's 3-0 win over Chelsea at Camp Nou on Wednesday secured a 4-1 victory over two legs.
Joining them in the pot are Manchester City, Liverpool, Roma, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Sevilla - a line-up that promises to throw up some blockbuster ties.
