Liverpool put themselves in a commanding performance for the second leg with an excellent 2-1 away win over Barcelona last night. After the game Rafa Benitez spoke of his pride in his players.

"I said before in the press conference that the atmosphere between the players was really good and you could see today them all working very hard for the team, for the club and for the supporters," said the Liverpool boss.
 
"For me I am really pleased with Bellamy and John scoring these goals and also pleased for the team too.
 
"The players have done a very good job, we were training and working very hard to prepare for this game and to play Barcelona is not easy. I think that the team was very good at playing counter-attack.
 
"At the end of the day we need to play another game, I don't want to say that everything is done. We need to be careful and think about the next game also."
