Rafa delighted with demolition of Birmingham

"I am delighted with the final result and the performance of the players," said the Liverpool boss. "They worked really hard and played well.

"We have quality and the strikers are really good, but sometimes you need a bit of luck and in this case we had a lot of luck.

"We always want to win trophies and if you can do well and go forward in a competition like this it is good for us.

"It is important for us and for the fans, and the players want to win another trophy so we will try."
