The former Liverpool centre back was left impressed with the first leg win over Roma and is confident that Liverpool are a final shoo-in.

Liverpool have one foot in the UEFA Champions League final but will still need to negotiate a minimum of a second 90 minutes against AS Roma in the coming week to confirm their participation in Kiev. An astounding 5-2 win in the home first leg earlier this week left the Liverpool faithfuls believing that they can make their first final appearance in 11 years.

The 2006-07 season was the last time Liverpool got to the final, but had to watch AC Milan exact revenge on them with a 2-1 win, two years after the former did the impossible to come back from three goals down to eventually lift the ultimate prize in Europe.
