Finnan dreams of United final
Liverpool defender Steve Finnan has admitted he is dreaming of meeting Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Champions League.
The two English titans play in the quarter-finals this week and they have been kept apart in the semi-final draw.
Finnan admits all the club's focus is on reaching the final and he admits a clash with arch-rivals United in the final would be mouthwatering prospect.
"That could be some game with the rivalry between the two clubs," said Finnan. "That could happen and I'm sure a lot of people are thinking of that but first there are difficult games, PSV and then Chelsea or Valencia. But the prospect is mouthwatering."
However, Finnan is refusing to take anything for granted against PSV Eindhoven in the last eight.
"We are five games away from winning it again and obviously you look to that," added Finnan.
"This game is very important against PSV but I think any footballer would be lying if they said they're not looking at a final and winning it. You do that from the start of the campaign as well.
"With the European Cup being the only trophy left for us to go for now this season, obviously the focus is on that, and certainly we're in similar circumstances to when we won the European Cup a couple of years ago.
"The win over Barcelona has put us in confident mood. We know PSV are a good team and not to be taken lightly.
"Even though we haven't lost to them in the two games we played against them earlier in the competition, we know this time it's not going to be easy.
