The Real Madrid captain has visited Anfield before as a fan while mate Fernando Morientes was a Red but tomorrow will be the first time he has played here. It's a visit the Spaniard is eagerly looking forward to.

"I'm stuck for words. It's so different: the singing in the ground and the approach to the stadium," said Raul.

"You walk through the area with all the houses and suddenly there it is, the stadium, you can't see it until it's on top of you - crowded with all the fans, the noise, the passion.

"The atmosphere was incredible. It was a league game. I can't imagine what it's going to be like for a Champions League match - crazy."
