...according to Steven Gerrard, as quoted in the sports headline of the Liverpool Echo earlier today. Man was he right! Playing Barcelona in their Nou Camp stadium is a big deal, current champions of Europe, favourites to hold on to the title and supposedly the best team in the world. But what does all that matter to the mighty Reds! Gutted that I wasn't able to get to see the game and had to be content with listening on the radio. Barca scored an early goal and it sounded like they then battered us for the rest of the first half, until 2 mins before 1/2 time when Bellamy equalised. 2nd half sounded like we were very organised and just didn't give them a look in, and actually missed a few chances ourselves before Riise scored the winner. Both our goals were supposedly helped by poor keeping / defending - BUT WHO CARES!! Typical that the goals were scored by Bellamy and Riise - the 2 players at the centre of last weeks stupid headlines.
"A quite sensational result" according to the BBC website, "one of the most stunning results in their proud European history" says the official LFC website, "a famous win...in most impressive fashion" according to Sky Sports. One very happy Liverpool fan sitting here - just hope we don't implode and get stuffed back at Anfield in the 2nd leg in a couple of weeks!
