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.
