Xabi Alonso insists he wants to stay with Liverpool.

"My future is with Liverpool because I signed a contract. There are many rumours but I do not pay attention to them," Alonso said.

"We are proud of what we have done in the Champions League and we are behind Benitez in the dressing room. I hope to play in more Champions League finals in my career.

"This defeat has hurt us a great deal but we have to show our professionalism and get on with the rest of the season."
