"We can't worry too much about Chelsea," he said. "Besides, I am more concerned as to which Liverpool team turns up on the day. We want the Liverpool that played so well against Bayer Leverkusen and not the Liverpool that lost at Birmingham.
"I cannot put my finger on why we are so inconsistent. We often follow two wins with a defeat, then three more with another loss. That is not the ideal situation. Really you want a gradual progression, a steady improvement towards consistency. But we are hoping that it is Liverpool's good face which turns up on Sunday.
"I feel privileged and proud to be playing in a final so soon into my Liverpool career. I was lucky to be playing for a side which reached finals regularly at Real Madrid and I was aware when I joined Liverpool the opportunities would arise to play in a lot more finals.
"Now, here it is, the first one already. I hope these opportunities continue to present themselves.
"This will be the second final I have played outside the colours of Real Madrid. That makes it a special moment for me and it is my first chance to play in a very big game with my team-mates. It will be a different sensation, a special sensation for me.
"Great sides show their worth in big matches and hopefully that is what we can do. We showed our positive side on Tuesday and hopefully we will again on Sunday. It is a chance to show our quality on the biggest stage.
"Finals are always difficult and we have seen this week that Chelsea aren't invincible. Theyhave lost two important games so everyone knows they can be beaten."
While Morientes was on loan at Monaco last season he scored against Chelsea in both legs of the Champions League semi-final that the French side won.
