However, the defender is not looking beyong a win against Wolves on Saturday as Fulham chase a top-ten finish, before turning his attention to the semi-final with Hamburg next Thursday.
"The season's not yet over for us," Hughes told reporters "A lot of people are looking at the Hamburg game because it gives us the chance of reaching a final.
"But in terms of the league it would be nice to finish in the top ten, we'd like to push for that but we'll have a tough game on Saturday against Wolves, who themselves have had a very good season.
"I think we've coped very well with not letting one competition distract us from another one this season. There are a few teams who are all pushing to get into that top ten - so it would be nice to still be able to finish up there with all of the games in the FA Cup and Europa League we've had to deal with.
"Those games have given the manager the chance to give a few of the other lads a game and allow them to show what they can do. We've used the squad well and all of the lads have done well."
