He's not lost it...

He’s not lost it.

There was a sold out Anfield on Saturday for the clash between a Liverpool Legends XI v Real Madrid Legends XI.

The match was held in support of the LFC foundation, the club’s official charity.

Almost 54,000 fans packed out the famous venue no surprise when looking at some of the names on show…

The home side had the likes of Steven Gerrard, Luis Garcia, Gary McAllister, Jamie Carragher, Vladimir Smicer, Daniel Agger and John Arne Riise in their squad, with Robbie Fowler captaining the side.

Madrid on the other hand, had Roberto Carlos, Luis Figo, Emilio Butragueño and Steve McManaman donning the famous white strip.

Liverpool won the game 4-3 and it’s is safe to say that Gerrard stamped his authority on the game.

The 36-year-old provided two assists, a goal and smashed the crossbar from 25 yards out.

His goal, which put Liverpool 4-0 up, is truly special.

Using one touch to control a cross from the right, the ball sits up perfectly for Gerrard to volley home…

 

And before this, he also rattled the crossbar with this incredible effort.
