Liverpool to now focus energy on Europa League
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has confirmed that the club will now focus their energy on winning the Europa League after being knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Despite defeating Hungarian outfit Debrecen 1-0, the Reds were eliminated from the world’s premier club competition when Fiorentina knocked over Lyon with the same scoreline in Italy.
Although disappointed, Gerrard said the club could only go on and attempt to win the Europa League after being dumped from the group stages of the Champions League.
“Of course it's disappointing, we played fantastically well tonight and despite getting three points we don't progress," he told Sky Sports 2.
"Hopefully now we'll be in the Europa League so we'll try to win that.
"The main prize has gone and to be playing in the Europa League is disappointing but we have to accept that, move on and try to win that competition.
"The only consolation in this is if we go on and win the secondary one."
