Jamie Carragher: Rafa Benitez always wins trophies

Former Liverpool defender Jamier Carragher has said that Real Madrid have the best man possible to lead the club back on the trophy trail.

The ex-defender, who played for Benitez at Anfield, will take to the field at the Santiago Bernabeu today as Los Blancos legends take on Liverpool legends in the Corazon Classic Match.

Speaking ahead of the game, the ex-England international had his say on Real’s new manager, saying there is huge pressure on him to win trophies immediately after Barcelona won the treble.

Talking to AS, he commented: “He’s had success at every club he’s been at. At Napoli he won the Supercopa and the Italian Cup, at Liverpool, the Champions League. I think he even won a couple of trophies at Inter. Benitez will always win trophies. At Real Madrid there is always pressure to win, and he’s coming in just at Barcelona win the treble so Madrid will need to respond. But he always wins trophies…”

Carragher was then asked about his memories of playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, and said Liverpool’s victory there in the Champions League was a great moment for the club.

“That was a long time ago now. We were lucky and won 1-0 there and 4-0 at Anfield. Real have 10 Champion Leagues while Liverpool ‘only’ have five, but that was our turn.”

  1. That’s right he does. This of course is why FSG are adamant on not bringing him back to Anfield. They do not wish to be embarrassed by trophies all over the show.
