In a Zoom call with Daily Mail, former Liverpool head coach Rafa Benitez has returned to the Reds' Champions League run back in 2005 when he reached competition's glory with the Premier League side in one of the most famous finals in football history against AC Milan.
"People talk about Istanbul, like we were lucky. But we were not lucky to win the Champions League because we played against Juventus [in the quarter finals], that was a top side. And we played Chelsea, at this time it was the best team maybe in Europe for sure in England." said the Spaniard.
"I think Liverpool can do the same and go to the final obviously. AC Milan was a great team [in the final] but the team was growing in confidence because, in these knock-out competition we could do it." added Benitez.
