TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon named outsiders Leicester City on Tuesday as they team he wanted to avoid in the Champions League quarter-finals. Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are among the sides already in the last eight yet it was the debutants and English Premier League champions who worried the 38-year-old goalkeeper the most. Leicester, because they are a dangerous and passionate team who can cause trouble for opponents who take the initiative," said Buffon after his team beat Porto 1-0 to compete a 3-0 aggregate win. Leicester reached the last eight with a 2-0 victory over Sevilla to go through 3-2 on aggregate. "I'd pick Barcelona to repay the bill from two years ago," he added, referring to Juve's 3-1 defeat.
