Henderson insists Champions League not enough for Liverpool

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson insists last season's Champions League final win is not enough for his teammates.

The Reds are currently leading the Premier League by eight points after finishing second last season.

And Henderson says only more silverware will satisfy his teammates.

"At the moment, people can talk about the moment we had in Madrid, but I don't think as a team that's enough for us," he told the club's website.

"We want people to be talking about us in 10 or 15 years' time saying, 'Can you remember when they won this trophy and that trophy?' That's how we want to be spoken about as a team because I believe we are a fantastic team and can be as successful as we want to be if we keep going in the direction we're going in, keep improving and working hard.

"There is still more to come. It's up to us and we want to make sure people are talking about us not only for the Champions League, but for many other trophies as well. I know it's easier said than done – of course I do, I have been here a long time and I understand that – but there is no reason why we cannot go for it, go for everything, because we have such a fantastic team, such a fantastic manager, so we'll try to do our best to go for everything."
