Steven Gerrard would love to see Barcelona and Real Madrid face off in the Champions League final, if English teams struggle this season.
Steven Gerrard is quietly hoping for a Barcelona and Real Madrid Champions League final, with the former Liverpool midfielder labeling the possible match up as "phenomenal".
Barca won the Champions League last season and is expected to feature during the latter stages of the competition, while Rafael Benitez's Real is determined to add to its 10 European crowns.
Gerrard, who held the trophy aloft as captain of Liverpool in 2005, would love to see English teams compete for top honors but the LA Galaxy star is relishing the prospect of a Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo showpiece in Milan on May 28.
