Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists he values the Europa League.
The Reds host Besiktas tonight.
"We hope we can be in the Champions League for a number of years and be a lot more consistent and stable with our performances," said Rodgers.
"It was not to be this season, but the Europa League is still a very good competition and we will attack these games in this competition like we have in the last few months. We want to win it.
"It is a very prestigious tournament. You have seen teams under Gerard Houllier win the Uefa Cup and for me this is the Uefa Cup."
