Ryan Babel was a member of the last Liverpool side to beat Real Madrid in 2009 - he recalls his Champions League memories in an exclusive interview with the ECHO's Theo Squires
It has now been over 15 years since Liverpool last beat Real Madrid . The Reds once boasted an 100% winning record against the La Liga giants, emerging victorious in their first three official meetings - including the 1981 European Cup final.
They had Sergio Ramos at the peak of his career. They had Casillas at the peak of his career. “So yeah I think I think we have to give credit to Liverpool for how we were able to play.” Babel’s Liverpool career was littered with inconsistency, but he often saved his best for the Champions League. When supporters recall his best moments for the Reds, such as his assist against Real Madrid, they are often from European encounters.
