Besiktas - Liverpool (6:4)

Liverpool at the site of their biggest achievement

  • Published:

The Reds are coming to the site of their 2005 comeback against Milan to win the Champions league, and have a 1-0 lead

Tonight Liverpool are returning to the place where they won what was perhaps the biggest victory in club history, beating Milan through penalty shootouts in the Champions league final in 2005 in Istanbul, after lagging behind 0-3.

One of the heroes of that legendary victory, Steven Gerrard, will not be playing at the Atatürk stadium in Istanbul tonight due to injury, as well as some other important starters, but Brendan Rodgers and his team believe they can defend the 1-0 win from Anfield.

- We still have a strong enough team to finish the job and advance - says the strategist of the second most winning team in England, Brendan Rogers. Midfielders Jordan Henderson, Lazar Marković and Lucas Leiva are not in the roster, nor are defenders Glen Johnson or Mamadou Sakho, while forward Philippe Coutinho is also out due to injury.

-We're playing at a stadium which is part of this club's history, against a very good Besiktas team. Many starters are missing, and I'm fielding a very young team, but I have great faith in them- says Rodgers. In their standard 3-4-3 setup the forward position will be held by Sterling, Balotelli and Sturridge, a hellish trio that can demolish any defense when they have a good day.

We will put aside Balotelli's show from the first game where he took the ball from Henderson and scored the winning penalty in the finish of the match.

- This will be a very difficult match for us, but we'll try to play our game, hold the ball as much as possible and attack as much as we can, as that's the best recipe for success- says away team forward Raheem Sterling, whose speed could be an ace in the sleeve for Liverpool since Besiktas have to take bigger risks trying to catch up to the lag they have from the first match.

Besiktas played a solid match in Liverpool, holding their own well till the very end, but then Balotelli scored a penalty and secured quite an advantage for the Reds. Besiktas did not achieve any of their targets, they were neither undefeated nor they scored a goal. In the mean time they lost against Eskisehirspor with the same score, but the team's camp is still filled with optimism.

Liverpool may have the advantage, but I think we still have a bigger chance to advance. It will be hard as their forwards are very dangerous, but we played a great game at Anfield and this gives us confidence- said coach Slaven Bilić, also adding:

We just need to be braver around their goal. The national league is much more important to us, as the Euroleague is just an extra bonus, but we intend to do our best here as well.

They're missing a few starters, goalie Zengin and defenders Gulum and Ramon. Two very important players, midfielder Tore and Demba Ba, are also in question for this game.
