MARK Schwarzer has urged his Fulham team-mates to grasp the ‘chance of a lifetime’ by ending the season with European glory.

Fulham’s number one was a hero for the Cottagers in a fantastic four days for the club that started with Europa League quarter-final success over Wolfsburg and ended with a point at Anfield on Sunday.

But Schwarzer, who reached a Uefa Cup Final with Middlesbrough in 2006, warned that Fulham must maintain their momentum if they want to achieve success, ahead of the first leg at Hamburg on Thursday.

"We need to continue the momentum and we did that by getting a great result at Anfield after our tough game in Europe against Wolfsburg," he said.

"But we have Wolves next and we have to keep it going before the game against Hamburg. We have the chance of a lifetime now as we have just two games to get to a European final. If we keep going for it then the sky is the limit.

"We are all fighting for the same cause and we want the club to be successful. That desire is there for the players and the manager. We are looking forward to playing Hamburg in the semi-final and it is in our hands now."
