Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen have suggested that this Liverpool team have a chance to become “immortal” after their Champions League semi-final win over Villarreal.
The Spanish side set up to frustrate the Reds at Anfield and went in on level terms at the half-time break. However, a deflected Jordan Henderson cross gifted Liverpool the lead on 53 minutes before Sadio Mane swiftly doubled the team’s lead after combining with Mohamed Salah.
With Jurgen Klopp’s side in a commanding position ahead of the second leg at El Madrigal, the post-match discussion quickly turned to the prospect of the club winning a quadruple. And following the victory at Anfield, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand suggested that this is the best Liverpool team he can remember.
