After dispatching Arsenal in midweek, the Spain star feels the Reds must now turn their attention to finishing above rivals Everton, who are currently fifth, starting with the visit of Blackburn on Sunday.

"We have two targets, to finish in the top four and to win the Champions League," Torres said.

"We are getting to the final a step at a time, but we also must keep going in the league, too, to make sure we qualify for next season."

Anfield boss Rafael Benitez can afford to risk his stars against Rovers because he has a clear week afterwards ahead of the trip to Fulham on April 19, before the first semi-final with Chelsea at Anfield three days later on April 22.

If Everton win at Birmingham on Saturday, Liverpool will go into the Blackburn game ahead of their local rivals only on goal difference.

The closeness of the battle ensures that Benitez will be careful not to take too many chances, because he does not want their league position to distract the players ahead of the two games with Chelsea.
