Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard gave a frank assessment of his side's UEFA Champions League performance after they were beaten 2-1 by Fiorentina at Anfield.
The Reds were already condemned to the obscurity of the Europa League prior to the match and were guaranteed to finish third in Group E.

A Nicklas Bendtner inspired Denmark side over came Sweden this evening in a battle of Scandinavia to claim the final three World Cup qualifying points they needed to reach next summers tournament, with bragging rights for the natives to boot.

The exciting forward has led his country's charge to South Africa and started on the left hand side against the Swede's who boasted Zlatan Ibrahimovic in attack.

Well, what do you say about that game?
Liverpool played some neat attacking football prompted by the impressive Aquilani who showed alot of neat touches and was willing to take the ball off the defenders and set up attack after attack, a promising full debut by the Italian in front of the kop.
The Reds played some good football in this match, spraying the ball around very well and dominated the game for long periods.

The first and second place finishers in each group move to the knockout stage while third place drops into the Europa League. Here's a recap and video highlights of the match.

Liverpool's miserable Champions League campaign ended in defeat to Fiorentina on Wednesday night.
The visitors grabbed a late winner through Alberto Gilardino in the second minute of added time to clinch top spot in Group E.
Looking at the positives, Liverpool started with Alberto Aquilani at last - and Fernando Torres returned from a groin injury for the final 25 minutes.

Mini match report: This was a soggy bottomed end to Liverpool's CL campaign this season the not-very-exciting Europa League awaits. Yossi Benayoun put Liverpool ahead just before half-time with a header from a Stevie G free-kick, before Martin Jorgensen and then a very late winner by Alberto Gilardino sealed Fiorentina's status as group winners.
