Reds must learn from mistakes says Rafa

Chelsea knocked the Reds out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage last season after John Arne Riise's inability to kick a ball with his right foot gave them an injury time equaliser in the first leg at Anfield. Mistakes like that must be avoided this time around warns Benitez.

"We have to think about the first game at Anfield with our fans behind us and look to get a positive result to take to Stamford Bridge," said the boss.

"We need to make sure we don't make a mistake in the first leg like we did in last year's semi-final.

"They will be two tough games but we are playing well and clearly we are confident we can win."
