Almeria striker feels mid-table finish would be respectable

Almeria striker Henok Goitom does not think Levante will qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League, despite their unbeaten start to La Liga in 2011/12. The side from Valencia were top of the table after eight matches, a point ahead of Real Madrid, while champions Barcelona were a further point back prior to their win at Granada on Tuesday night. However, Goitom does not believe Levante will be able to maintain their form and feels a mid-table position would still be respectable at the end of the campaign. Goitom said: "It is great whilst it lasts but it is like a dream and it will end soon. "I cannot see them reaching the Champions League - they won't be able to keep it up all season but a mid-table finish would still be impressive." You can hear Goitom on the latest episode of La Liga Weekly from Sky Sports News Radio; Andy May and Sid Lowe also look back at Cristiano Ronaldo's 11th hat-trick for Madrid.
