A star-studded Liverpool legends side triumphed over Real Madrid courtesy of a match-winning Steven Gerrard volley, the goal everybody inside a packed Anfield had been hoping for.
Goals from Michael Owen and John Aldridge put the Reds ahead, before club legend Gerrard was felled by Jerzy Dudek for a penalty.
The Kop playfully booed as Robbie Fowler stepped up to take, getting a two-fingered salute from the iconic striker in return just before the penalty rippled the back of the goal.
Edwin Congo, Fernando Morientes and Ruben de la Red got among the goals in a late resurgence from the Spanish giants, but the day would be sealed by Gerrard whose expert volley in front of the Kop end saw victory lay with the men in Red.
