Concentrate on the league says Rafa

Liverpool face Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final again, but Rafa Benitez has told his players to put those games to the back of their minds and concentrate on the league.

"I was pleased with the players last weekend at Reading because they showed they could focus on the Premiership and put the European games to the back of their minds. The message to them this weekend is exactly the same," said the Spaniard.

"We know people are talking about the Chelsea games but for us it's important to concentrate on the league at this moment. We have three games to play before the Champions League and if we can win them our situation in the table will be a lot more comfortable. I think two wins between now and the end of the season could be enough and we want to get them as quickly as possible."
