Benitez: We must believe

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has admitted his side have a monumental task ahead of them if they are to progress in the Champions League.The Reds were stunned by a 3-1 loss at home to Chelsea in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, having gone ahead through an early Fernando Torres goal.Guus Hiddink's side have been made 3/1 second favourites for the title following the game, with Liverpool needing to score at least three goals at Stamford Bridge to deny them a place in the last four.But they may be buoyed by the fact that they recently netted four against their other main rival for Champions League and Premier League success - Manchester United - at Old Trafford."We know we have a difficult task in the second leg," said Benitez, adding: "We have to score three times and that will be very difficult. But we must believe we can do it."Barcelona are favourites for the title at 6/4, with Manchester United priced 4/1 by Betfred.
