Liverpool 0 - 2 Benfica
(Benfica wins 3 - 0 on aggregate)


Gerrard Dejected over Champions League Exit

Well done to Benfica. That's all I would say.

Trailing 1 -0 from the 1st leg at Lisbon, it was do-or-die at Anfield. Everyone thought Liverpool had the means & confidence to pull this off, me included. It was so so so frustrating to see the team going behind from a superbly taken goal by Simao - the man that Benitez wanted to bring to Anfield. We had numerous chances in front of goal in the first 30 mins, but we didn't convert those. Benfica took their chances & went ahead 9 mins from the 1st half.

Liverpool's defence of the Champion League's trophy has effectively ended. We need to look to the future, we are still in contention for the FA Cup & hopefully finish on top of Man Utd in the League.
