Reds fired up for revenge

BENFICA have been warned they will have to survive a night of torment in front of the Kop if they want to reach the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of Liverpool.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg at the Estadio la Luz, Reds skipper Sami Hyypia sees parallels between the task facing holders Liverpool in a fortnight and last season’s memorable final group match against Olympiacos.

Back in December 2004, the Greeks arrived at Anfield with Liverpool needing to score three times to qualify for the knock-out stages, which they did in spectacular fashion on their way to lifting the trophy.
