Djibril Cisse believes Liverpool can have no complaints if they are not granted a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.

Rafa Benitez's European champions are to learn on Friday whether they are to be appear in next season's premier club competition - despite finishing outside of the qualification places in The Premiership.

It is expected that Liverpool could enter the competition at the third qualifying phase - which would push Slovakian side Artmedia back a round.

However, 23-year-old Cisse believes that Liverpool and their players must shoulder responsibility if Uefa decide against their entry next season - despite their dramatic penalty shoot-out final win over Milan.

''There are rules and the rules are there to be respected,'' said Cisse.

''If we don't manage to get a change in these rules or a special right to play, then it will be our own fault.

''Perhaps that will teach us a lesson.''
