Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson admits that if his side were to win the UEFA Champions League this season, it would fulfill a lifelong dream of his.

The Reds are in the Champions League semi finals, where they face Italian side Roma over two legs for a place in the final. The other semi final sees Real Madrid face off against Bayern Munich.

"I think you dream about those things when you are a kid really," said Henderson at the launch of Liverpool's new home kit.

"Of course I have, as many other players have, but one step at a time. Roma are a fantastic team and it will be a tough test for us so we will just have to wait and see.

"We certainly won't under-estimate them. They beat Barcelona 3-0 and they are a top team. It will be a difficult game both home and away.

"It will be a tough test but it is a challenge for us to go in there being confident with the way we have been playing, especially in the last round.

"We have to go there and do what we have been doing and hopefully get to the final. We are obviously in a good place at the moment but at the same time it is important not to get too carried away.

"Our focus is on playing football and doing everything we can to win games, whether that is in the Premier League or the Champions League.

"It is a young team but I feel they are mature at the same time and are hungry to want more, learn and improve and that is the biggest thing.

"Having beaten City away we then put in the performance we did against Bournemouth (and that) shows the mentality of the players so we need to continue that, stay together as a group and focus on what is important."
