UEFA Champions League, Athens Final 2007 Liverpool v AC Milan Liverpool fans singing “You will never walk alone”
Luis Garcia was signed by Rafael BenÃtez for Liverpool in August 2004 for a fee of £6 million (BenÃtez coached him when they were at Tenerife together). He was bought essentially as a cut-price replacement for El Hadji Diouf, in the attacking midfield role. He has proved much more than a stand-in, and has become a key component of Liverpool’s attacking unit. He made his Premiership debut against Bolton Wanderers on 29 August 2004, a game that Liverpool lost 1-0, although Garcia had an apparently legitimate goal ruled out for offside. His first goal in a Liverpool shirt came against West Bromich Albion at Anfield in September 2004. He went on to score seven more league goals that season, including the winner in the Merseyside derby on 20 March 2005. He was also a key player in Liverpool’s successful 2005 Champions League campaign, netting the winning goals against Juventus (an unstoppable left footed shot which curled over Gianluigi Buffon and to the left post of the goal) and Chelsea (a controversial goal in the fourth minute), in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively. He took part in the Champions league final victory over AC Milan on 25 May 2005, finishing with an excellent 13 goals in all competitions in his first season in English football. GarcÃa has made slightly less of an impact in the 2005-06 season, although he has weighed in with some vital goals, not least the cracking, lofted finish against Chelsea to put them out of the FA Cup in the semi-finals …

Liverpool v Chelsea – Champions League SF 2007 – 1 May 2007
La stagione 1991-92 rimane nel ricordo dei tifosi rossoblu come quella della disputa della Coppa UEFA. Nessuno si sarebbe aspettato un cammino così autorevole in Europa da parte della squadra rossoblù: dapprima venne eliminato il Real Oviedo, poi la Dinamo di Bucarest. Il Genoa approdò così agli ottavi,che superò battendo lo Steaua. Il sorteggio per i quarti sembrò poco favorevole al Genoa: l’avversario era il Liverpool. Fu all’Anfield Road (partita di ritorno) che il Genoa si impose: i Grifoni furono la prima squadra italiana a battere il Liverpool sul suo terreno in una competizione ufficiale. Ma la favola del Genoa in Coppa UEFA finì a causa dell’Ajax, che eliminò il Grifone.
