Martin Skrtel Still Aiming For Liverpool Double


Sunday's 1-1 draw with Manchester City saw Liverpool slip seven points behind the Premier League leaders, Manchester United, with just 12 games remaining.

Thus, there is an air of tension around Anfield ahead of Wednesday's Champions League date with Real Madrid, but Martin Skrtel still has his heart set on hauling in the Red Devils and lifting silverware in Rome.

"It won't be easy but there are still a lot of games until the end of the season and we will do everything we can to try and win two trophies this season," the 24-year-old said on Liverpool's official website.

Nevertheless, the Slovakian international is well aware that he and the rest of Rafael Benitez's men must turn their form around soon if they are to win anything at all this season.

"It's frustrating because we are fighting for first place in the Premier League and we have to try and win every game," continued Skrtel.

"I think if we had scored in the first half [against Man City] it would have been easier for us to win. I was really disappointed afterwards because we wanted to win. It was a draw and we dropped two points, but that's football.

"We have to win every game now and hope United drop some points."
