Summary

Time to head back 15 years, as we get back on the Road to Istanbul, here on Blood Red. As the Reds get ready to start their knockout phase of the Champions League away to Atletico Madrid, back in 2005, Liverpool welcomed German side Bayer Leverkusen to Anfield. Three years on from being eliminated by the German outfit in the quarter-final stage of the Champions League, Rafa Benitez's side were out to settle a score. Goals from Luis Garcia, John Arne Riise and Dietmar Hamann helped the Reds to a 3-1 win en-route to making it through to the last eight of the tournament. Enjoy.
