Javier Mascherano says he is desperate swap his runner up medals for winner's ones this season, either in the Champions League or FA Cup.

Mascherano was part of the side that lost 2-1 to AC Milan in last season's Champions League final, he then went onto the Copa America final with Argentina, only to lose to Brazil, and now he is ready to change the trend and hopefully pick up a winner's medal this season.

"When you lose any final, it's painful, But suffering defeat in such a massive game as the Champions League or Copa America last year was really hard to take.
 
"Even when I was back in South America I always watched the European Cup games and loved it. It's the most important title you can win in club football and we were so close to doing it. This time winning one would be really nice. Hopefully it will happen this season in the Champions League or FA Cup because I don't want another silver medal – I prefer gold!
 
"I just love playing in these big cup games with Liverpool. I went from not playing at West Ham to being involved in such huge occasions. It doesn't really get any better than this. Hopefully there are a few more great days and nights around the corner"
