Jamie Carragher "disappointed" at Liverpool's Champions League exit
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has admitted his deep disappointment at missing out on a third Champions League final in four seasons.

The Reds were knocked out the competition by Premier League rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge following a thrilling 3-2 win for the home side at Stamford Bridge.

That result followed the 1-1 draw at Anfield last week, when John Arne Riise's late own goal proved to be a death knell for the Merseysiders' hopes.

And Carragher admitted that while the team had expected the task ahead of them to be a difficult one, he had believed an unprecedented victory in west London had not been out of the question.

"We knew it was going to be tough, and we are disappointed," Carragher told Sky Sports afterwards.

"It is a great achievement by Chelsea and good luck to them in the final. As I said we are disappointed, but we have just got to accept it and move on.

"We have got to be proud of the way we acted and performed. That bodes well for the future, hopefully."End of story
