Gerrard thrilled to lead Liverpool back into Champions League

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is thrilled to be leading the club back into the Champions League.

Gerrard has revealed missing the last few editions, as Liverpool went though a difficult period, had been a wrench.

"I've missed it so much. There's almost a jealousy when you watch the Champions League and you're not involved in it," the 34-year-old told Liverpool's official website.

"It's a horrible thing to do - you want to be part of it. It's the ultimate competition. I'm just as excited as any supporter and anyone connected to the club. I can't wait for it to start."
