James Milner: 'Liverpool focused on winning trophy'

Midfielder James Milner says that he and his Liverpool teammates are focused on winning the Europa League final rather than thinking about Champions League qualification.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has said that he and his teammates are solely focused on winning the Europa League final against Sevilla.

Whoever emerges victorious in Basel will also secure qualification for next season's Champions League, but Milner has insisted that little attention has been paid to the extra prize on offer on Wednesday night.

The 30-year-old told reporters: "It's a nice bonus but I can't say we've thought about the Champions League too much. The only aim is to win that trophy.

"We've put in a lot of good performances over the course of the tournament. Now it's all about finishing the job off. I had a tough decision to make last year. This is a fantastic football club and is used to winning trophies. We want to add to that."

After finishing in eighth position in the Premier League table, Liverpool must win the tournament in order to compete in Europe next season.
