Lucas Leiva has dismissed talk of a move away from Liverpool.

"Of course I was happy to score against Atletico, although I would rather the team have won the game instead of me getting the goal," the Brazilian told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"But it was good for me to start and end the pre-season well.

"Sometimes I hear things said about me, but to be honest I don't care too much. I only care about the team and the squad.

"Now I have to focus on the forthcoming season and continue to work hard and improve.

"I will try to prove I have the quality to be in the team and hopefully help Liverpool win the title."
