52 games played of a possible 58 in the CL proper
Since Rafa joined us until the close of the group stages just gone, ateam could have played a possible 58 games in the Champions Leagueproper from group stages to final.
Rafa has managed a Liverpool side in a staggering 52 games out of a possible 58.
Whilstmany detractors will say that in 2 of those 5 group stages (4 if youdont include this seasons) we have gone to the last game to securequalification, it cannot be overlooked that against Olympiacos weneeded 3 goals without reply in the 2nd half and pulled through whilstagainst Marseille away, we were faced up against a side that never gotbeat home by an English team in European competition and won 4 zip !
Wealso faced humiliation against Milan in the final in 2005 andmiraculously pulled through. When the chips have been down, we havepulled through with the exception of Benfica - which also representshis biggest defeat, 2-0 - which says something we you consider thequality we have faced.
We beat Juventus - champions of Italy. Wesaw off the Champions of England in Chelsea. Flash Barcelona gotdismissed on their home soil, the then Champions of Europe. Championsof Italy Inter Milan have been waved off.Thebestfootballteamintheworld© were beaten in one of the best CL gamesever whilst we beat the 2nd best team in England, again, in the semifinal in 2007.
Remember the Legend getting sent off in the Stade Veledrome in 2004 when Marseille knocked us out of the UEFA Cup ?
