Passion of Anfield - Barca is out WE won

The KOP roar is a roar. full 90 minutes of roar. Dats passion. The way we defended the way we sang " You never walk alone"

Seldom can a 1-0 reverse have been received so rapturously. As a sea of scarves engulfed Anfield and a suitably reverential version of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' echoed around it, Barcelona's victory on the night appeared an irrelevance. Theirs was a hollow triumph, Liverpool's a heroic defeat.

If the loss to Manchester United by the same scoreline seemed unfortunate, this was an injustice. But as the 2006 Champions League winners exited at the hands of the predecessors, the result on the night mattered not. The significant score was Liverpool 2 Barcelona 2; the away goals rule will be cherished on Merseyside for years to come.

The performance should be, too. For the second time in a fortnight, Rafael Benitez out-thought Frank Rijkaard, Steve Finnan subdued Ronaldinho, Momo Sissoko covered untold miles and Jamie Carragher defied anyone and anything that crossed his path.
