Rafael Benitez League Quotations

The positive things from Wednesday are that we have one more Champions League point, and we were better than Chelsea,

We are all very disappointed about going out of the Champions League but we have to put it behind us and think about going to Arsenal. We still have the league and the FA Cup. The world moves on.

Now we intend to finish the job with another victory. If we do that we will be virtually through into the knockout stages. We have been very positive in our Champions League matches and I hope that we can continue this now.

Last season people said Liverpool was not the best team in the Champions League and that made life easier for us because of the way teams prepared against us.

Our league season was not too good and theirs is the same this season. But we won the trophy when not doing well in England and I believe they can do the same.

Arsenal are now looking at winning the Champions League as a real target and they can do what we did last season.

It's very important for the club, the manager, the fans and everybody to be in the Champions League at this stage.

At this stage, with all Premiership clubs you've got to play good teams. Maybe Birmingham will be more concerned about their league position and this might not be as important to them as staying in the division. I feel I've got a big enough squad to cope with playing in three competitions and all I can say is that I'd have rather been drawn at home.

I felt the same way going into this year's tournament as I did a year ago. And I'm as hungry now to win more trophies as I was before. It's my ambition to win many competitions with the club. I'm not satisfied with only winning the Champions League once. We want to repeat our success.
