Liverpool hitman Luis Suarez has admitted that it would be a "dream" to represent the club in the Champions League next season.

The five-time European champions are on course to qualify for the continent's elite competition this season after a four-year absence, with the Reds sitting fourth in the Premier League table.

Suarez, who has fired 23 goals this season, admits that he is excited about the prospect of experiencing the "truly unique" atmosphere inside Anfield on a Champions League night.

The Uruguay international told Sport magazine: "I dream about playing with Liverpool in the Champions League, yes.

"My teammates have told me that it's something incredible, something truly unique, to play in that competition at Anfield. I'd love to do it. That said, there's a lot of the league left to play. We have to keep doing the things we're doing.

"We know all about those nights at Anfield. Everyone in the world knows about it, knows the club. All players appreciate the significance of the Champions League here, and that it's difficult to match Liverpool on that stage."

Liverpool resume their bid to reclaim a top-four place with the visit to Southampton on Saturday.
