Shock Trent gets chucked under the bus.
Play him has a quarterback, put Rice and Bellingham beside him and for good measure get the front three in there too…clueless
🗣️🇮🇹 Francesco Totti: “The best player I faced? Steven Gerrard. A Champion! An example! He would be captain of my World XI dream team.”
🗣️🇦🇷 Lionel Messi: “I think Gerrard is England’s greatest ever player.”
🗣️🇫🇷 Arséne Wenger: “He was a fantastic player who had the qualities that every midfielder dreams of. He scored goals, he could pass. He had commitment and motivation.”
🗣️🇧🇷 Kaka: “For me, and I have always said this, Gerrard will be regarded as one of the greatest midfielders ever when he finishes his career. No doubt.
🗣️🇫🇷 Thierry Henry: “I find it a disgrace that he didn’t win European Footballer of the Year in 2005 after Istanbul. For me, he is one of the best ever. Whenever you play Liverpool you know you have to get him out of the game. If not, it’s all over for you.”
🗣️🇫🇷 Patrick Vieira: “The best midfielder I would say is Steven Gerrard. I really rate him as a player and a man.”
🗣️🏴 Wayne Rooney: “The best player I'd played for England with? I’d have to say Stevie. For me he is an incredible player, an incredible leader. He helped me a lot during my early days with England.”
🗣️🏴 Paul Scholes: “Who was better - me or Gerrard? I can answer that. Gerrard. Gerrard’s a great player. I wouldn’t be able to do what he did at Liverpool."
🗣️🇫🇷 Zinedine Zidane: “I have said in the past that at his peak he was the best in the world. I think it was the summer of 2004 I was having a conversation with Florentino (Perez) and I told him I wanted him to partner me in midfield for Madrid.”
🗣️🇮🇹 Andrea Pirlo: “That night in Istanbul, Liverpool’s fight back was centralised on Steven Gerrard. He was their leader, their star player, their man who made it happen.”
🗣️🇧🇷 Pelè in 2007: “For me, for the last five years Gerrard has been the best player in the world.”
🗣️🏴 Sir Alex Ferguson: “He has become the most influential player in England bar none. Not that Vieira lacks anything, but Gerrard does more.”
🗣️🇮🇹 Paolo Maldini: “His story is one of those stories to be told, one of those fairytales - just like it happened to me - to be narrated to your children and grandchildren.”
🗣️🇮🇹 Claudio Marchisio “In my own position I was crazy about Gerrard. I remember in the Champions League final comeback by Liverpool against Milan, you saw him up front, on the wings, and a moment later he was back, marking the playmaker, I have never seen such a complete midfielder”
🗣️🇮🇹 Daniele De Rossi: “Gerrard has been my idol for 10 years and is one of the best players in the world. He is the example of what all midfield players aspire to. He is always there in the heat of the battle, leading by example. He is everywhere you look.”
🗣️🏴 Jamie Carragher: “We beat Real Madrid 4-0 at Anfield and Raul came up and asked if he’d go to Real Madrid in that summer, so that is how strong the feeling was from Real Madrid - the actual captain asking if he’d sign! We used to get that type of thing plenty of times!”
Happy birthday to one of the greatest midfielders of all time. 🥳🙌
It is humbling for the BBC to think I am deserving of such a prestigious award and I am thankful to be joining iconic names in the sporting world in receiving the lifetime achievement award.
As proud as I am, I have to thank all the people around me that helped me achieve this.

"PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool."
The PGMOL statement on the Luis Diaz disallowed goal. 👇
Already on a booking, falls over his own feet and asks the ref to book Jota. Asking for an opponent to be booked is supposedly an automatic yellow. Not in this instance though. The ref did as he was told and booked Jota. Same player then dives to get Jota a 2nd yellow. Corrupt.
