If the atmosphere at Anfield was flat last night then it certainly won’t be next week when Real Madrid arrive for their first game ever in Liverpool.
It should be a unique occasion and one which I‘m really looking forward to.
Everyone’s delighted we are in the lead at half way with that away goal, but we’ve still got a lot of work to do.
It’s clear to me that Rafael Benitez excels in European football, whereas he has yet to master the League.
Part of the problem is that perhaps these days winning the English league doesn’t matter as much as it used to. It’s simply getting into the Champions League which counts and you only have to finish in the top four for that.
Don’t get me wrong – I desperately want to see us winning our own league like everyone else. But the only difference between finishing first and fourth these days is that you get a medal.
All the top sides get Champions League football so maybe that is a factor. But whatever, Tuesday will be a cracking occasion.
