We all know what it’s like to watch your team in a Champions League Final, the anticipation, the nerves, the hopes and dreams, but what must it be like to PLAY in one? John Gibbons in joined by Jamie Carragher to kick off our Champions League Final preview...
THERE was always a possibility. A possibility that Barcelona might dish out the kind of first leg beating to Liverpool that would render the second leg of this European Cup semi final all but redundant. Liverpool had the capacity to have beaten the Catalans and beaten...
WE’VE come a long way. Just typing out the header – Barcelona away – made we shiver, made me twitch. To be a team facing them in the semi final of a European Cup is something to be. We can know we should feel lucky to be where we are today yet...
