Liverpool FC news: Champions League assists leader James Milner insists he has always been a creative player

Liverpool midfielder James Milner thinks - at the age of 32 - he is finally changing perceptions of him as he tops the table of Champions League assists this season.

The Reds vice-captain has created seven of the 28 goals Jurgen Klopp's side have scored in Europe despite just 341 minutes of pitch time.

That is three better than team-mate Roberto Firmino, Paris St Germain forward Neymar, Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard of Chelsea - all of whom have played at least 100 minutes more.

It has become something of a joke within the Liverpool squad but for Milner it is just an extension of what he feels he has done throughout his career, only no-one has paid any attention until now.
