Spanish Liverpool - by Sergio Andres Medina (Paperback)

About the Book

On May 25, 2005, what is surely the most exciting European Cup final of all time was played. AC Milan and Liverpool faced each other in a match that has gone down in history as "The Miracle of Istanbul." That final, now 20 years ago, is the most iconic moment of Rafa Benítez's time managing the Reds. Rafa Benítez arrived at John Lennon Airport more than two decades ago full of enthusiasm from Valencia, and his work and legacy are still remembered today. From 2004 to 2010, the Spanish coach became the manager of a club where, year after year, season after season, a few compatriots joined to form a legendary team that, to this day, lives on in our memories. Spanish Liverpool recounts those six years in England, telling the story of the football and also the human side, with testimonies from many of its protagonists: players, coaches, rivals, journalists and even fans, who help us understand what this club and this city mean. This book is a testimony to that team, those years, those Spanish protagonists, those goals... to those "you'll never walk alone" chants at Anfield.
