Javier Mascherano has lifted the lid on his exit from Liverpool and admitted he had to take matters very much into his own hands.
After arriving at Anfield from West Ham in 2007, the Argentine spent three years on Merseyside and developed into one of the world's best defensive midfielders under Rafa Benitez while earning cult status at the club.
But things soon soured and the player quickly found that promises had not been kept when it came to his future, and soon Mascherano had to take matters into his own hands.
Speaking this week with FourFourTwo, Mascherano recounted what happens in the weeks leading to his exit and how the club he loved soon evoked his angry side.
