Liverpool legend Phil Thompson believes that silverware is more important to the club than securing Champions League football ahead of Wednesdays Europa League final. The winner of Europes second-tier tournament will qualify for the group stages of the Champions League next season, adding to the importance of the Basel showdown between the Reds, who finished eighth in the Premier League, and La Ligas 7th-placed side, Sevilla.But Thommo, who won three European Cups during his distinguished Anfield career, insists securing silverware is still the most important factor for both the club and the players. Speaking to Sky Sports, Thompson said: If you ask me, winning a trophy is always the most important. People talk about finishing fourth like its winning a trophy but its not. Liverpool have seen off Dortmund and Villarreal to reach the final I think its massive for these players playing in another final. Winning trophies brings you a mentality which you cant put a price on.This is Liverpool Football Club and prestige of competing in finals, especially European ones, is huge, thats why players want to play for this club.Obviously a lot of people in England see it as second rate but in Europe its huge. I remember in 2001 when we won our three trophies and all the foreign players and Gerard Houllier saw the UEFA Cup as the most important one over the FA Cup and League Cup. Winning trophies brings you a mentality which you cant put a price on. Phil Thompson However, Thommo has warned Liverpool fans not to get too carried away if they do return to Europes top competition as Klopp comes to the end of his first season in charge.He added: It puts us back up there competing with the best but it doesnt suddenly make us contenders to win the Champions League. Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool dont need luck to beat Sevilla in the Europa League final Finishing seventh in the Premier League isnt good enough. Its a stepping stone in the right direction but its consistency that this team need in order to compete for the league.What people have still got to remember is this is Brendan Rodgers squad so Klopp still has to do a fair bit of tinkering to get a the right players for his style of play to really be effective.

Ive got to continue to stay focused on football.Bradham, 26, was charged with aggravated battery in Miami after a South Beach hotel employee accused Bradham of striking him last week.I am confident my name will be cleared, Bradham said.Bradham said he regretted that the arrest was the first impression he made on Eagles fans after signing with the team as a free agent in March.You dont want that to be part of your legacy at any time throughout your career, Bradham said. Its my first year here. Im just getting started. I definitely dont want to start out with that being out there.

After investigations by Philadelphia police and the district attorneys office, the DA decided not to file charges in the case.No matter what was going on, if I make the right decision, then I wouldnt be there, Agholor said. There were points where I thought the opportunity that was given to me, to play for this organization and to have the life I have, could have been taken from me.Agholor declined to discuss what happened at the club, or to say whether hed been there before the day in question.I fell short of my mission, Agholor said. I should have done a better job. From here on out, I have an obligation to do the right thing and to be the right person for this organization.At first, I was in shock. But I had to realize that I put myself in this position. All I can do is grow, find different ways to get closer to my family, get closer to the people that have my back. I just continued to train, stay with my family and get myself ready. ' ' '
