Liverpool News
Steven Gerrard was today named UEFA's most valuable player of last season. Gerrard collected his award at a ceremony in Monaco this afternoon and his manager believes the accolade is fully deserved.
"For sure, I agree with UEFA's decision in giving this award to Steven," said coach Rafa Benitez.
"He was an important player for us right through last season's Champions League competition. In the final, especially, he played midfield, right wing and right full-back, as well as scoring the goal that kick-started our comeback. His goal gave the rest of the team the power and strength to believe we could win the cup."
Liverpool are through to the next round of the Champions League this year despite a 1-0 loss to CSKA Sofia earlier in the week (we won on aggregate you see). Next we face Chelsea, Anderlecht and Real Betis in the group stage.
