  'Experience used to be the difference, Liverpool have this now' Liverpool v Real Madrid (20:00 GMT) Former Liverpool and Real manager Rafael Benitez told BBC Radio 5 Live the Reds have what it takes to match the Spanish side.

You play against Newcastle and after you have to play against Real Madrid, so massive games, very important, very intensive games. Can they cope with all these things? "I think so, with the players coming back. That is a risk. If almost everybody is fit, I think they will do well."
