Liverpool midfielder Roberto Firmino is excited to be returning to the Champions League next season.

The Brazil international is ready to embrace the demands of a much tougher schedule as the Reds prepare to return to European action.

"Last season it was sad that we had no European games but we worked hard and now we're really looking forward to them next season," Firmino told LFC magazine.

"We'll have more games to play but I would play twice a week if I could.

"It shows the team is moving in the right direction."
