Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva insists the club can be proud of their season turnaround.
If the season had started when the Scot re-took the reins on January 8 Liverpool would be set for a comfortable top-four finish.
"At the beginning of the season we were around the relegation zone," Lucas told liverpoolfc.tv. "I don't think anyone was expecting us to finish fifth or sixth and that's a great comeback.
"It's an achievement but we are Liverpool and we want to finish higher than that. The Champions League is the biggest target for us but we just have to finish well and start next season with a really positive mentality and attitude and then we'll have a big chance of making our fans smile again."
