Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger has declared that his side are desperate to play in the Champions League again.
The Reds, who last featured in the continental tournament in the 2009/10 campaign, have started this season brightly, a start which sees the club in second place in the Premier League table with 23 points from 11 fixtures.
And Agger, who admitted Liverpool are a more solid unit this term, revealed that his side are hungry to play in the Champions League along with the best teams.
The Denmark international further added that it would be a “great achievement” for the Merseyside club to finish the season in a top four spot, given the tightness of the Premier League.
