Steven Gerrard showed class truly is permanent by scoring an ice-cold penalty in Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in a star-studded legends charity match ...
Coming out for the second half, with Gerrard the only man not to be subbed off at half-time and complete 90 minutes, Phil Babb had a nightmare start, giving away a penalty as Giovanni raced away. As Sander Westerveld bared down on him, the striker made no mistake with his one-on-one finish to beat the Dutchman and send the sides in level. It came just minutes after he laid down behind the wall from a Rivaldo free-kick, another piece of contemporary play which had supporters in stitches. Gerrard's partner in crime was always going to give the fans something to smile about too - it just wasn't expected to be a Cruyff turn. It was what the crowd wanted to see and if you'd been living under a rock since 2015, you'd have been forgiven for thinking Gerrard was still playing. It wasn't just the players who made the occasion a showpiece, but the coaches too.

I love Melwood, that's where all my memories are from and I would never change that, but it is brilliant what they've got now down at the AXA."
