Truly, everyone excelled yesterday as Liverpool kept a clean sheet and put the boot in against Marseilles in their final Champions League group game.
Coming back from the dead, Liverpool won their last three games in fine style, scoring 16 goals to come back into 2nd position in the group and advance into the knockout stages.
Likely opponents are teams from Spain or Italy, like Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Sevilla or Inter Milan. Whoever the opponent, they cannot be happy about facing Liverpool on their current form. And it should be a mouth-watering tie though I personally want to meet up with AC Milan again and beat them this time.
In the mean time, we have an equal challenge (though at home) of playing Manchester United this weekend, and then Chelsea during the Christmas break. Thank the Lord for subscriptions to three soccer channels on my DirecTV (and my DVR!).
