Rafael Benitez has insisted that the speculation linking him with the Real Madrid coach position is just that - speculation.

"At this moment I am very happy here. I am focused on the games we have coming up and I want to win things with my club.

"I don't want to waste my time talking about other possibilities. I am focused on my team, winning matches and I am happy at Liverpool."

Rafa was in Italy earlier this week to collect the Best Coach in Europe trophy which he is very proud to have collected.

He added: "I am delighted to have been named the best coach in Europe, but this award isn't for me. It's for the club, my staff, the players and our supporters. It's impossible to win trophies and be successful if you don't have the support of people around you at the club."
