Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard wants to win the Europa League - but admits it is not the club's No1 priority this season, reports The Sun. The England midfielder echoed the sentiments of Reds boss Roy Hodgson by claiming the Premier League is the main focus after a disappointing seventh-placed finish last term.
Liverpool will face Steaua Bucharest, Napoli and Utrecht in the group stages after completing a 3-1 aggregate win over Trabzonspor on Thursday night.
But Gerrard warned: "It's a strong group and I'm certainly looking forward to the games.
"The media will make us early favourites I'm sure, because of our experience in the Champions League and last year in the Europa League.
"But I'm confident we can get out of the group although it will be tough. The draw has given us some difficult challenges.
"I don't think the Europa League is the priority. Everybody knows that our league position, where we finish at the end of this year, is the priority.
"But it's another trophy, it's a big cup.
"We haven't won a trophy for four years now so it's important we put a good show on in all the cup competitions and try to reward the fans with a final."
