Benitez spent £5.8m in the January transfer window
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez says he must be allowed to strengthen his squad following the Champions League defeat by Benfica.
The Spaniard, who is reported to be the subject of interest from Inter Milan and Real Madrid, said: "We need to work harder in terms of looking for players.

"It is important to strengthen... and buy new players.

How did a chat amongst a group of friends in an Istanbul street cafe last May result in a brilliant new banner making its debut on the Kop on Wednesday night? Let Matthew Owen explain.  



  
The final in Istanbul is already the stuff of legend. You couldn't move for splendid banners, perhaps the greatest collection ever assembled for a football match. The city and the stadium were ablaze with colour.
  
In a street cafe the morning after, a group of us discussed the banners on show. We talked about a banner of our own, perhaps getting a few Reds to group together and see what we could achieve. The results have been better than we could ever have hoped for.
  

When we reluctantly returned to England, Gareth posted the banner idea on independent fan site Redandwhitekop.net. From that point on this became a collaborative project. There was a fantastic response - lots of people liked the idea and wanted to contribute either with a donation or a design. Throughout June and July, the debate raged. We wanted to include our European titles and remember the Hillsborough victims, but how?
  
As ideas flooded in, they divided into two schools: the 'traditionalists' and the 'modernists'. Many banners were in classic Liverpool format but there were also interesting alternatives that reworked the traditional Liverbird format into a new design. We took a vote on the site and the Liverbird designs won, but although the most popular design was very good would it translate to a large format?
  
Time was passing by; in late October we passed the design ideas to graphic artist Kit Nelson. Taking the reworked Liverbird atop the Champions League ball as a starting point, Kit sketched the idea that became the 'Liverbanner'. We were knocked out. The image was bold and would work well on a large banner. Plus, we'd finally found someone who could draw a bird's claws!
  
This Liverbird had a fierce and defiant look. In one claw it grasped a scarf, symbolizing the supporters, in the other the Champions League ball, bearing the dates our club has won 'Big Ears'. We loved the space set aside for number 6 and the incorporation of the eternal flame. The resemblance to a Phoenix rising from the ashes was appropriate given the rebirth of the club witnessed in Turkey and the streets of Liverpool. It was a bold statement and we had to make it happen.
  
Using the initial design, we launched an appeal for funding across both the official and unofficial fans forums. We were delighted by the support from Reds worldwide. Some of the donations came in from people who might only see the banner in place once in a lifetime, if at all. Every donation large or small was great to see.
  
Not everyone liked the image; there was a body of opinion that favoured a traditional approach. Kit's design was a radical departure and, for some, this Liverbird was a step too far. They were fair criticisms and we could only ask people to suspend judgment until the completed banner was on the Kop.
  
We took heart however in the near universal support we received for the concept of fan-funded banners. We couldn't please everyone but if the project worked, we could do something different next time. We decided to set up a website devoted to producing banners so that those who had different ideas could get them into production.
  
As donations came in, we looked for a printer. We settled on
'Scanachrome'. They were the UK's number one large-format printers and, more importantly, their Skelmersdale department was full of fellow Reds! Andy Philips swiftly became an important person in the project as he produced umpteen test prints from Kit's revisions as we made colour changes to try and get the image just right. Scanachrome have been fantastic throughout and I can't praise them highly enough.
The final golden Liverbird on red background was inspired by the European Cup winning kits of the seventies. As a happy coincidence it gave the banner a slightly Spanish look - hopefully Rafa will like it! No doubt he'd approve of the teamwork which went into its production - it took hundreds of supporters to make this happen.
  
Our first chance to see the banner came last Saturday. The club kindly let us take the banner onto the Kop for a dress rehearsal. A project which began as a casual conversation in Istanbul was finally being brought to completion. Well, almost complete. The acid test was still to come in the shape of the crucial Benfica home leg.
  
Alas, my ticket-bearing friend was delayed and I had to stay outside as the rest of the team took the banner into the stadium and released it into the crowd. I wouldn't get to see the banner on the Kop after all. Standing next to Shankly and hearing the roar of the Kop gave me a chance to reflect on the near nine months since the banner idea began.
  
Getting the banner made wouldn't have happened without the efforts and assistance of a wide group of supporters, all keen to do their bit without any reward other than adding to the unique atmosphere within Anfield. Others I have to mention include Frank, the owner of the existing banner who has been very supportive, the HJC who have allowed us to store the banner in their offices and finally the club and individual stewards have been helpful throughout.
The Liverbanner made its first appearance on a night when the team needed the crowd to make the ground shake once more. It made two full circuits around the Kop and the general reaction has been positive. Hopefully it will add one more element to the unique atmosphere in Anfield. We've already started work on www.kopbanners.org so that more people can get involved in future projects and take their chance to influence the next one. Just with the Liverbanner, this will be an independent, non-profit making venture, entirely funded by supporters.
  
When you next see it on the Kop remember give it a cheer, and get those singing voices ready in the Main Stand and Centenary or that scary looking Liverbird might just give you a peck!

A delighted Ronald Koeman basked in the glory of Benfica's improbable Champions League victory over Liverpool but admitted his team had luck on their side over the two legs.  
Goals from Simao and Miccoli sealed an emphatic 3-0 aggregate success for the Portuguese champions at Anfield last night as the Reds saw their European crown slip agonisingly away.
  
Liverpool were again left to rue a succession of missed opportunities during a frustrating 90 minutes for the home fans and Koeman said afterwards: "In the first 30 minutes they played well and had two or three big chances to score.
  
"We scored the goal from Simao and we played better. In the second half they tried again - but they did not have the opportunities they had in the first half.
  
"We needed to be lucky. If you are not lucky you cannot beat a team like Liverpool."

Having lit up Istanbul with the most glorious European final ever last May, Liverpool's hopes of making it to Paris this year were killed off on a frustrating night of missed opportunities at Anfield. Watch how it happened online now.  
Liverpool's bid to retain the Champions League title collapsed after goals from Sabrosa Simao and Fabrizio Miccoli gave Benfica a 2-0 win at Anfield on Wednesday night to complete a 3-0 aggregate win for the Portuguese Champions.
  
Rafa's side were bidding to overturn a first leg deficit for the first time since 1991 after losing 1-0 in Portugal a fortnight ago but, not for the first time this season, they were made to pay for missing a host of early chances when Simao put the tie beyond them with his wonder strike.
  
The Reds kicked off knowing they would need to beat Benfica by two clear goals and they were almost off to the dream start after just 11 minutes when Crouch collected Garcia's pass and saw his shot deflected against the post with the goalkeeper beaten. Unfortunately it was an early sign of further frustration to come.

Xabi Alonso surveyed the wreckage of Liverpool's Champions League campaign and insisted there is still much to look forward to this season.  
Like the majority at Anfield last night, Alonso cut a forlorn figure as he left the stadium following the Reds' miserable 2-0 defeat to Benfica.
  
Coming on the back of 1-0 first leg loss in Lisbon a fortnight ago it's a result that confirmed the premature end of Liverpool's reign as European Champions.
  
But amid the bitter sense of disappointment, the Spanish playmaker has offered words of hope to the 'superb' fans who gave the team their unrelenting support throughout a frustrating 90-minutes.
  
He says: "We have to look forward. We want to finish second and win the FA Cup. The first 20 minutes we had a lot of good chances to score. When they scored they put themselves in a really good situation.
  
"By the end it was impossible for us and we're really disappointed. We wanted to repeat our triumph of last season.
  
"We feel we have a better team than last season and could have won it again, but in the knockout anything can happen.
  
"It's like Charlton in that we created a lot of opportunities but couldn't score the goal. We have to be worried about this. To win games, obviously, you must score goals. This is something we'll have to analyse and work on.
  
"Scoring is not just the exclusive job of the strikers. The midfielders have responsibility, too."
  
Alonso reserved special praise for the Liverpool fans and believes their fanaticism will ensure Rafael Benitez remains in the Anfield hot-seat for a long time, despite recent speculation about his future.
  
"The crowd was superb and you can't ask for more than this. At 2-0 down they knew we were out of the Champions League, but they were still singing and making us feel their support," he adds.
  
"It's been a disappointing night for Rafa but I know he's really focused and committed to the club.
  
"He realises how passionate this crowd is and how much they adore him. It would be impossible for him to find another crowd like this.
  
"Our crowd is so special because they react as well when we're feeling low as when we've had success.
  
"I'm not worried about the situation with Rafa and the rumours. I know how he feels about the club."

Rafael Benitez today spoke to Liverpoolfc.tv about the disappointment of the night before, how the supporters did the club proud and why our season is far from over. Sign up for an e-Season Ticket and you can watch the interview now.  
The following questions were put to Benitez to answer:
  
1. Rafa, you've had some time to reflect on both the performance and the result, how are you feeling today?
  
2. The looks on the players faces as they left the pitch at the end spoke volumes. Can you describe the mood in the dressing room after the final whistle?
  
3. Even in defeat, the Liverpool supporters emerged winners on the night. How did you feel as the fans chanted your name, sang You'll Never Walk Alone and applauded the Benfica players off the pitch?
  
4. You spoke before the game about how you had confidence that your team could score the two or three goals required to qualify. In the end, they couldn't score one. Do you feel let down by your players?
  
5. Liverpool had three clear chances to score during the opening 30 minutes and many fans believe the missed chances proved more costly than the mistake at the back which led to Benfica's goal. How do you see it?
  
6. Against both Charlton and Benfica, the post-match talk has centred around chances missed. When does bad luck in front of goal become poor finishing from the players paid to score the goals?
  
7. The game has gone now but looking back with hindsight, is there anything you would have changed about your team selection, tactics or substitutions?
  
8. Immediately after the game you spoke about lifting the players for the game against Arsenal. Has this weekend's game taken on new significance?
  
9. Fans will be looking for a reaction from this defeat on Sunday. How difficult will it be to lift the players?
  
10. The European dream may be over for this season but do you think there's still an opportunity to make a success of this season?
  
11. And finally, after going out of the tournament on Tuesday, Jose Mourinho claimed he wanted Benfica to go on a lift the European Cup. Who would you like to see triumph in Paris?

Rafael Benitez has spoken of the need for improvement in the aftermath of Liverpool's Champions League exit and assured fans that everyone at the club is working hard to achieve this.  
Speaking at a Melwood press conference on Thursday afternoon, Benitez was in a solemn mood as he reflected on the disappointing events of the previous night.
  
But rather than dwell too long on the relinquishment of their European crown, the Liverpool boss is looking ahead with optimism to the remainder of the season.
  
"The players are disappointed but we cannot change what has happened and we now must move onto the next game, keep going and try to correct the problems," he says.
  
"We must improve and to do that we need to continue to work hard and sign more good players. Every big club always needs to be on the lookout for new players so this is no reaction to last night, it's normal.
  
"I have a contract here and I want to see us improve this year and in the future. Unfortunately, the prospect of generating extra income from a run in the Champions League is no longer a possibility so we must work with what we've got.
  
"Rick Parry and the board are working hard to find solutions and I am working closely with our scouting department. We all want to progress and already we have signed Paletta and Gonzalez to help us achieve this.
  
"In football though, nothing changes after just one game. We are no longer in the Champions League but that does not mean we are a worse team than before.
  
"I am happy with the players we have here and they are not thinking about their futures, they are thinking only about winning the next game. We are in two competitions and are fully focussed on them. Our players want to finish second in the Premiership, win the FA Cup, and give their best for the club and supporters.
  
"Playing in four competitions was not easy, there were a lot of games and it was really difficult. The fact we now have just two competitions left may make life a little easier. It's always easier with less games.
  
"Of course, we need to start scoring goals. The strikers are desperate to score and we must ensure that we continue to create chances for them."

在歐聯十六強出局後，利物浦領隊賓尼迪斯表明希望球會能夠給予足夠資金讓他在今夏增兵。

入球能力不足，令到利物浦近四仗歐聯賽事不能取得任何入球兼宣告衛冕失敗。

一月份賓尼迪斯動用球會的 580 萬英鎊收購中堅艾加，而他亦簽下科拿及以荷西美交換維拉利爾的高朗金加盟。

不過攻力欠銳，令到紅軍今屆十六強被淘汰。賓尼迪斯雖沒有怪責前鋒球員，但揚言球會必須增兵才有望挑戰列強。

一般相信利物浦今夏會以增強鋒力作為主要目標。

英國報章報道賓尼迪斯向球會方面要求 3,000 萬英鎊用作增兵之用。

賓尼迪斯接受訪問時並沒有回應這個傳聞，而他同時亦否認他與球會高層不和的消息。

利物浦挪威球星懷斯將要休息三星期。

懷斯在上週對查爾頓的比賽中受傷的，他因為腰傷，在週三晚對賓菲加的賽事已經沒有上陣。

「他已經每天都接受治療，但需要休息三個星期。」懷斯的顧問加維謙說。

「他在今季還有很多重要比賽，因此他恐怕自己的受傷會惡化。」

【明報專訊】利物浦今屆歐聯的衛冕之路提早結束，該支英超勁旅在周三晚迎戰賓菲加的16強次回合賽事雖然連番攻門，卻未能將機會轉化為入球。結果「紅軍」被對手連陷兩城以0﹕2主場見負，總成績淨吞3蛋出局。


遭揶揄「容易入口的肉塊」

利物浦已連續第4場歐聯賽事未能取得「士哥」，賽後更被賓菲加稱為「容易入口的肉塊」（easy meat），寓意「紅軍」輕易被擊倒。賓菲加教練朗奴高文興奮之餘，也「暗寸」對手不懂入球﹕「其實他們並非慣常能贏3或4球的隊伍。經過25分鐘，入球已成為他們的心理病，這令我們在下半場更易應付。」

利物浦領隊賓尼迪斯則表示不能怪責前鋒把握能力不濟﹕「或許球隊仍須製造更多埋門機會。開賽20分鐘後己隊後防開始犯錯，加上未能控制中場，故落敗是整隊的責任。」

利物浦今仗先後有高治的施射與加歷查的頭槌中柱不入，加上高治與路爾斯加西亞單刀又失諸交臂，為球隊埋下出局的伏線。賓菲加藉突擊由沙保沙與後備入替的米高利於上、下半場各建一功，繼分組賽淘汰曼聯後，兩回合計以3﹕0再將另一支英超聯球隊利物浦踢出局。

記者王康寧報道 創業難，守業難。周三的安菲爾德，衛冕歐洲冠軍利物浦不僅沒有兌現取得進球的承諾，更是防線洞開“送”給來訪的本菲卡兩記精彩絕殺第六次奪取冠軍杯的夢想沒等進入4月就已經破滅。紅軍主帥本尼蒂斯近來一再強調球隊相比上賽季大有進步，但以1/8淘汰賽兩回合的表現來看，至少進步不是在歐洲賽場。

　　相比上周末主場迎戰查爾頓一戰，本尼蒂斯對首發陣容作出了5處調整。不出意外地，缺席上周末聯賽的紅軍“歐戰福星”祖安法蘭回到了首發陣容。西班牙中場艾朗素和愛爾蘭人費南也都如期復出，分別替下老將夏文和不具備冠軍杯參賽資格的克隆坎普。原本可以第50次代表紅軍出戰冠軍杯的芬蘭中衛海皮亞終於還是沒能徹底傷愈，上周末拉傷肌腱的他只是出現在替補陣容，而頂替他與卡拿赫搭檔的是法國人泰奧利，左後衛位置則意外地留給了小將沃諾克(挪威人里塞據說是因為背部和腹股溝傷勢缺席)。在鋒線上，“上帝”科拿也讓位給莫里恩特斯，本尼蒂斯顯然更看重同胞的歐戰經驗。

　　開賽後不久，紅軍便佔據了場上的主動。兩周前在里斯本，情況相差無幾，但是本尼蒂斯表示當時他對自己的球員沒有信心，因為球隊雖然控球佔優，但缺乏向前的欲望和進球的決心，這一次局勢則要好了許多。第11分鐘，克勞奇的射門打在對方後衛身上變向擊介堡柱，8分鐘後祖安法蘭又將一次半單刀機會射高，似乎一切都在向著紅軍率先進球的方向發展。

　　然而克勞奇在上半場，就將一次絕佳的單刀機會直接打在本菲卡門將身上，還因為禁區內假摔吃到黃牌。首回合做客創造俱樂部歐戰不失球時間新紀錄(573分鐘)的防線也弱不禁風，第36分鐘，本菲卡隊長、曾是紅軍引援目標的邊鋒沙保沙遠射打破僵局，而最初因為處理球不果斷被對手斷球、直接導致本隊防線洞開的恰是以穩健著稱的卡拿赫。失球後紅軍馬上加強攻勢，半場結束前和下半場第75分鐘卡拿赫都有機會將功補過，但是他的兩記頭球竟然先是再次擊介堡柱，又在無人緊逼的情況下高出橫梁。半場一球落後意味著紅軍必須在45分鐘里打進三球才能晉級，上賽季他們在對陣奧林匹亞科斯和決賽面對AC米蘭時都完成了這一壯舉，但是這一次好運不再。

　　第64分鐘，本尼蒂斯用施斯換下表現平庸的科維爾，又在6分鐘後一舉派上科拿和夏文，同時變陣352，可還是無法扭轉頹勢。而科拿第82分鐘的進球因為之前祖安法蘭開出的角球出界在先成為他加盟紅軍後的第三個“詐和”，本菲卡還在隨後的反擊中由替補前鋒米高利倒勾破門，完成了令人心碎的一擊。

　　周三的比賽結果還與本尼蒂斯的去留息息相關--利物浦董事會說服愛斯賓奴拒絕皇馬或者國際米蘭的最佳途徑就是向他提供足夠的夏季引援資金，而進軍冠軍杯8強則意味著俱樂部最少可以獲得300萬英鎊的額外收入，雖然這還比不上趕超曼聯奪取英超亞軍可以增收的500萬英鎊，但是對於吸引投資並不成功的利物浦卻是雪中送炭。

　　另一方面，紅軍隊長謝拉特將在本周五作為最近一屆冠軍杯奪標球隊的隊長前往巴黎出席新獎杯的亮相儀式(上賽季紅軍第五次捧起這項桂冠從而把舊獎杯永久保留在了安菲爾德)，而這位英格蘭中場的最大心愿是等到今年5月再隨隊出征作為本賽季冠軍杯決賽舉辦城市的巴黎，並且把新獎杯真正地捧在手中。想象一下，當他周五看到新獎杯卻知道它肯定不會屬於自己和紅軍的時候，會是怎樣的心情？
