Steven Gerrard has his eyes firmly focused on the Europa League and insists Liverpool are taking the competition very seriously.
The Reds skipper admits it’s been a disappointing season but the team has one trophy left to play for and they are going to give it everything they can.
“It’s very dangerous to bet against Liverpool, especially when our backs are to the wall,” said Gerrard.
“This season has been inconsistent and hasn’t gone to plan. However, for me as captain and for the team, we’ve got one more trophy to lift.
“So we’ll be giving everything to go all the way. Anyone who underestimates the Europa League is not for me because I’ve lifted the Uefa Cup before.
“It’s a special trophy, and 2001 was a superb final. Hopefully we can experience the same feeling this season.”
But Gerrard is wary of Liverpool’s opponents Unirea and is expecting a tough tie
“I’ve always found in Europe that Liverpool have more problems against less well-known teams because of the surprise factor,” he told Uefa’s official website.
“To play Liverpool is a big game for Unirea and they’ll be looking for a big upset and will be very dangerous.
“But Rafa will make sure that the team is prepared. He does his homework and doesn’t leave any stone unturned.”

Rafa Benitez has rubbished the idea of a Champion’s League play-off between the teams finishing between 4th and 7th place in the Premier League.
The Reds boss believes that this will only add yet more games to an already congested season and said teams would end up playing “until the end of the century”.
“I have to agree with David Moyes,” said Rafa.
“He said what would it mean for a team like Tottenham if they finish fourth and, after a fantastic season, have to play a team who finishes seventh, maybe 20 points behind, just to keep the competition alive?
“To play three, maybe four fixtures, when you don’t have time with international football – when will you play, how can you play these games and what does it mean for the team that finishes fourth?
“Maybe we can do the same with the teams at the bottom of the table. If you finish fourth maybe you could play with the team who finished third from the bottom. Then during the whole season we can play 50 games and we don’t have to rest so that will be fantastic.
“If we continue playing games we will end up playing three games a week – which is fantastic for the television companies. We are playing too much as it is. They were talking about the 39th game being played in Asia so if we now play the play-offs we will be playing until the end of the century.”
