London, July 16 (ANI): A desperate Rafa Benitez is demanding perfection from Liverpool next season to end the Kop's 20-year title drought.

We are strong enough to beat anyone and we need to be consistent," he added."We got 86 points last season - a record for the club in the Premier League - but we still need to improve," he said.
