Record-breaker Rafa hungry for further glory

RAFAEL BENITEZ is intent on writing his own chapter in Liverpool’s history as he eclipses the great Bill Shankly in tonight’s Champions League clash with Marseille.

Benitez will send a Liverpool side into European combat for the 66th time, one more than Shankly achieved, and is now Liverpool’s leading manager – in terms of matches played – in Europe.

And while Benitez admits to being “immensely proud” of his achievement at Anfield, his skipper Steven Gerrard will come surging back into action intent on writing some more history of his own.
