The Anfield crowd played a big part in roaring the Reds to a 2-0 first leg lead over Inter Milan on Tuesday night earning the thanks of Jamie Carragher.

"We've had a few of them now. I wouldn't say you take them for granted but the fans always put on their best performances on a European night. That goes right through the history of the club and I'm sure it will be the same for however long the club is going," said the Liverpool vice-captain.

"We've always had special European nights and this was another one. We always try and make a good start in European games at home, get in people's faces and set a high tempo and the crowd play a big part in that.

"I think we rattled Inter Milan in the first 15-20 minutes and the crowd played as big a part in that as anyone.

"I'm running out of things to say about the fans but they proved once again that they're the best in Europe."
