Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez will not rush to decide whether Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard should have operations.

Rafael Benitez is not giving up on Liverpool's bid to reach the Champions League knock-out stages and believes another "miracle" can happen.

AT THE end of the storm, the Liverpool anthem says, there is a golden sky. But just when Rafa Benitez, who took inspiration from the lyrics ahead of last night’s match, thought he could see the light it was cruelly clouded from his view in Lyon and this result has left critics asking: Will he now walk alone?

LIVERPOOL’S hearts were broken by a cruel last-minute equaliser that has all but ended their Champions League dreams for a traumatic season.
