Brendan Rodgers championed Celtic's "perfect" performance in their 5-0 Champions League play-off win over Astana and revealed his desire for a Liverpool reunion in the group stage.
The Scottish champions were irresistible at times in Wednesday's first-leg clash at Parkhead, eventually going on to demolish a side which initially looked capable of threatening.
"It was a brilliant result and performance," he told BT Sport. "These are real pressure games at this stage of the season, but we produced an outstanding team performance and it shows how much the team has improved and progressed.
"They showed great maturity to go on and finish the game and they could have had more [goals]. You couldn't ask for any more. To have the evening we had – it was perfect."
"I hope at some time I can go back to Anfield," he added. "Liverpool are a phenomenal team with a great manager. If we could both get through it would be [a] great [tie].
"They're two teams with fanatical support and great history. We want to make sure we get there [to the group stage] and are in the draw."
