Liverpool’s Riera Eyes Victory Against Marseille & PSV Eindhoven

Liverpool winger Albert Riera has said that the Reds want to win their forthcoming games against Marseille and PSV Eindhoven to finish top of Group D and move into the Champions League first knockout round.

Rafa Benitez’s side secured a last-gasp 1-1 draw last night against Atletico Madrid at Anfield and just need a point from the last two group games to move into the next round.

After the draw against Atletico, Spanish international Riera, who moved to Anfield in the summer, said: "This was definitely a very important point for us.

"We knew when we went into this game that a win could have been enough to take us through.

"That did not happen but a draw is still a good result and it means that we still have the same chances to go through, albeit with one match less to do it.

"But we will do everything we can to win our last two matches because we want to go on and win this group."
