'Liverpool for me' - Patrick Vieira gives perfect explanation of 'really special' Anfield atmosphere

Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has named Liverpool as the best atmosphere he has ever 'experienced in my life'.

Vieira played for the Gunners for nine years after transferring from AC Milan in 1996. The Frenchman lifted the Premier League with Arsenal in 2004 as Invincibles.

The Frenchman endured many a battle with the likes of Manchester United in England's top flight and competed all over Europe in his career, but it is Anfield who comes out on top.

Vieria was asked on BT Sport while previewing the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan, where the best atmosphere was that he's experienced.

"Liverpool is one of the best. I think AC Milan, Inter, San Siro is a very special stadium, but Liverpool for me is the best atmosphere that I ever experienced in my life. It's a communion between the players and the fans.

"When they start to sing You'll Never Walk Alone and they make it really special for the players, it creates a bubble, a togetherness between fans and players and I think that gives the extra motivation to the players to give even more. That creates something really special for Liverpool Football Club."
