Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher claims that their Champions League conquest in 2005 was worth more than any Premiership title could ever mean.
The Reds were crowned kings of Europe for the first time since the glory days of the 80's courtesy of an epic comeback victory against Milan, which Carragher reckons earned the 04/05 squad a place in Liverpool folklore.
"I'm desperate to win the league but the European Cup is bigger," he said. "I wouldn't swap Istanbul for a league title. People will talk about that match in 50 years' time, like they talk about Real Madrid beating Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3.
"Whatever has happened in the league, winning the Champions League again would make it an unbelievable season."
Liverpool, who only have fourth place to play for domestically, are in good stead to at least make it into the last eight of the competition, as they travel to Milan next week holding a two goal advantage over Inter.
