| Rafael Benitez masterminded another magnificent European away
triumph as Liverpool confounded the odds with a stunning 1-0 victory
over Real Madrid in the Bernabeu.
Whatever the Liverpool manager's future is after months of rumours,
he did his cause no harm at all thanks to Yossi Benayoun's headed
winner.
Benitez has coached Liverpool to remarkable performances away to
Juventus, Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Chelsea in recent
seasons in the Champions League, but this was by far the most impressive.
Real have been rampant of late and unbeaten this year, but Liverpool
dug deep and Benayoun headed the late winner to give his side every
chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.
