Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez remains hopeful of making the Champions League knockouts, but admitted that the Reds need a miracle after the 1-1 draw at Lyon. Ryan Babbel's wonder goal was cancelled out by a late Lisandro Lopez strike, sending Lyon to the last 16 and leaving Liverpool third of Group E. "So really unlucky, really disappointed but I think the players were doing well," Benitez, whose side are five points adrift of second-placed Fiorentina, told Sky Sports. "Okay, we have to win now and we have to go to the next game and wait for the result between Lyon and Fiorentina and see if we can win and go to the last game and try to do another miracle." "I think it will be difficult but still we are alive so we have to keep going." Liverpool visit point-less Debreceni by the end of November, before clashing with Fiorentina at Anfield next month.
