Last updated : 06 April 2004 By Chris Maxwell
The former German international is currently on a year-long loan at Ewood Park but he is desperate to repeat his treble season heroics for Gerard Houllier's men next season.

"You saw the atmosphere at Anfield and the warm reception I got off the supporters," enthused Babbel.

"The fans are fantastic and so is the place. I loved it when I played at Liverpool and I would love to be playing there again next season.

"For me, it's the best stadium in England. I hope I can go back there next season. I really hope Liverpool finish fourth. It's a great club and they have to play in the Champions League.


"The plan at the moment is that I will go back to Liverpool at the end of the season. You never know but as it stands I will be there again.

"I certainly hope to come back to Liverpool. I've been at Blackburn for most of the season and I have got my fitness back."
