Pepe Reina believes Liverpool can still finish fifth in the Premier League and achieve European football.
Liverpool bowed out of the Europa League after losing 1-0 on aggregate to Portuguese Braga on Thursday evening, and now have to finish fifth in the league if they are to compete in a continental competition next season.
It would appear to be a difficult task with nine games to go, as current fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur are six points ahead with a game in hand over Kenny Dalglish's side.
"We have to keep going and of course fifth place is still achievable," Reina said, according to the Liverpool Echo.
"We have got nine games to play and a lot of points to play for.
"Tottenham are still involved in the Champions League and they have some tough games.
"Everyone knows it’s going to be difficult but hopefully we will win enough games to get fifth.
"It’s always important for this club to be involved in European competition.
"And you can’t say we are not going to play in Europe next year because fifth place is still available."
