"It is going to be really tough," said the Liverpool skipper. "Let's be realistic, there are some fantastic teams left in the Champions League and we are just going to try to stay in as long as possible but we realise that maybe it's not our year this year."
"We're fighting for the fourth spot for the Champions League for next season but we are still involved in two cup competitions which are very important and we are confident we can upset Chelsea on the 27th and get to the last eight of the Champions League, because financially it is big for the club and personally for myself it is very good."
