Oh, and as for the ghost goal, for the final time (how many times over the years does it need to be said?!), had the goal not been given, almost certaintly Liverpool would have had a penalty and Cech would have been sent off.
Garcia's foot was pretty high, the only way he won the ball was to then clatter into Cech, and to be perfectly frank once the foot is that high in a 50-50 challenge, it should be a foul for dangerous play.
So the point is utterly mute. The ball clearly didnt cross the line... I think your profile's "soft spot for Liverpool" might be clouding your judgement here.
Gualliam Ballague (Ive spelt that wrong) actually once said on spanish football that Real Madrid's bosses actually never put a bid in for Gerrard when managers asked, Florentino Perez didnt rate him.
He knows something about players quality too..... he has overseen the player acquisitions and management of a team that have won in 3 or 4 Champions League wins, which I think is the most anyone has ever been responsible for.
