The Reds booked their place in the group stage with a 4-0 win over Toulouse last night, 5-0 on aggregate, to the delight of Rafa Benitez.

"First of all I want to pay my condolences and respect to the family of Rhys Jones," said the Spaniard.

"As for the game, I am very happy with my team and we showed the strength and quality of our squad.

"We scored four good goals and could have scored a lot more. We now have two players for each position and everyone can see our squad is a lot stronger than it was before.

"It was good for Crouch and Kuyt to score and they both worked very hard for the team. It was also good for me as a manager to give Sebastian Leto and Lucas Leiva their first games."
