Arsenal game ‘like a Champions League final’

RAFAEL BENITEZ will demand that his players put Champions League glory out of their minds and transform their last two crucial league matches into finals in their own right.

Liverpool now know that unless UEFA have a major change of heart and allow the Champions League holders into next season’s competition to defend their crown, the only way the Anfield men will be amongst Europe’s elite next term is by finishing fourth in the Premiership.

Many Liverpool fans are still celebrating reaching the final, but boss Benitez knows he dare not allow that level of euphoria to spread to his own dressing room.
