The Liverpool boss is back in Madrid where he grew up as the Reds take on Athletico Madrid tonight. Although returning to his home town to face the team his father supported is a big moment for Rafa he says he is only thinking of getting the three points for Liverpool.

"I'm really pleased to be here, in my town," Benitez said in his pre-match press conference.

"My home town now is Liverpool but I come from Madrid so I am pleased to be here. I have a very good opinion of Atletico, their fans and everything. I will enjoy it and we will try to win.

"I'm only worried about my own supporters and want to win for them."
