Pre-match conference: Benfica v Liverpool FC (Europa League)


RAFA BENITEZ and Lucas Leiva look ahead to Liverpool’s Europa League quarter-final first leg against Portugese side Benfica in Lisbon. Liverpool have an important away goal that they will need to capitalise on. An strong attacking game of football will be needed to salvage success for Liverpool in the Europa League against an in-form Benfica.

  6. @AlannTH too true how long has rafa been in charge and how many transfers in that time and the team seem to get worse each year.

  7. Moaning about the ref is an excuse, both penalties were justified and so was the sending off. Cant blame a shite team and a shite manager, easy to blame refs, take heat away from a poor team and a poor manager. Liverpool got to be the team that whines the most when they loose. This team got to be the worst Liverpool team ive seen in many years. Moan and blame refs all you want dont take the fact away that the team is shite.

  8. @86raso yeah the red to babel was a bit to much, but sometimes torres was falling before contact and it was allways a foul, and the foul on Aimar should of been red. Winning by penalties is not so good, but they were clean and kyutts hair was offside,I bet Benfica will be more focused in anfield like they can and were in marseille’s vellodrome in a disadvantage, it will surely be a great game

  9. Benfica will win ;)
    I think Benfica did play much better than liverpool
    I think liverpool had lil bit luck there was another 2 penaltys for us
    Benfica did play better.
    Benfica is not just only a football club it’s the biggest footbal club with most fans and members ;)

  10. lucas will ya ever get lost with that insua,only fit for league 1 .WASTERS

  11. for me am the only person to see that there is no balance to lpool side liverpool constantly are either score more goals than any one or either the best defence for me that say s there is no constant balance to the side i mean 2 years on the run we scored more goals than any one an before that we had the best defence than any one we have 11 european cups if we finish 4th an win this european cup 12 then we would of done better than any other team in prem

  13. sums up liverpools season bad reffs i could easy count 5 games were liverpool have lost due to bad reffs beach ball is one 15 points lost would take us top of leauge an not the fighting for 4th were in due to bad reffs even in match of the day were they study the after game matches its talked about an agreed that shouldnt of been a pen at the man u match for start it was a blatent sending off on the fowl on torres also

  15. @86raso haha bad tackle ? torres did a bad tackle to di maria if he went to the ground good bye torres for the 2nd leg. plus you don’t just touch twice players who r already angered it’s stupid .

  16. @86raso it’s a matter of perspective. Being a benfica’s fan I’ve also thought that the referee made some mistakes against benfica. One of them was the 1st penaly..the player who made the fault had a yellow card and after doing the penalty fault he got nothing.

  17. @rivatox I’m not talking about penalties… Red card for Babel and just a yelow for such a bad takle of Luisao. Come on! And there were other suspicious decisions too… Watch that replays again :)

  18. @86raso I think benfica had bad luck too, you’re talking about a team that has a 3.5 goal average per match, 107 goals this season, bad refery? I dont think so, just watch the replays

  19. I think it was bad luck tonight, and realy bad refery

  20. how long has Raffa been manager? how many transfers has he had? and liverpool get worse each year
