Liverpool<\/a> midfielder Lucas<\/a> hopes that the club can finish in the top four and achieve Champions League<\/a> football at the end of next season.<\/p>\n

The Reds were unable to qualify for Europe’s premier club competition last season and have missed out on it again this year.<\/p>\n

But they still have a chance of making their way to the Europa League at the expense of Tottenham Hotspur, though they will be relying on Spurs slipping up at home to Birmingham if they are to pinch fifth spot.<\/p>\n

However, the Brazilian is optimistic about the club’s future, as he is quoted by the Liverpool Daily Post<\/em> as saying: “At the beginning of the season we were around the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think anyone was expecting us to finish fifth or sixth and that\u2019s a great comeback.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s an achievement but we are Liverpool and we want to finish higher than that.<\/p>\n

“The Champions League is the biggest target for us but we just have to finish well and start next season with a really positive mentality and attitude and then we\u2019ll have a big chance of making our fans smile again.”<\/p>\n
