LONDON - Former Liverpool star Michael Owen has denied he is jealous of the Reds' Champions League triumph following his move to Real Madrid.

The England striker told The Times: "you can't keep looking back and second-guessing decisions like my move to Real Madrid."

Owen, who could be on his way back to England if rumours in the Spanish press are to be believed, added: "Who knows if they would have got to the final if I was leading the attack or if I would have done things differently from Milan Baros.

"People will say my timing for leaving Anfield was suspect but how was I, or anyone else, to know that Liverpool were about to go on the most incredible run to the final?

"A few months ago when they had been knocked out of the FA Cup at Burnley and were struggling outside the Champions League places, people were speculating that it might be a disastrous season for Liverpool.

"There are so many turning points but now that they have come good I am thrilled for some of my old colleagues such as Stevie Gerrard, Didi Hamann and Jamie Carragher.

"I hope it does kick-start a great new era for Liverpool."
