Career in Pictures: Rafa Benitez’s spell as Liverpool manager

So close, yet so far

Gerrard scores from the spot in Liverpool’s big win at Old Trafford.

Before this season, Liverpool haven’t really been serious contenders for the Premir League title on too many occasions.

They came oh so close in 2014 but were beaten to it by Man City following Gerrard’s slip against Chelsea and implosion at Crystal Palace.

The closest they came before that was in the 2008/09 season when they finished just four points behind Manchester United.

Rafa had his side playing some great football that season – notably beating Real Madrid 4-0 at Anfield in the Champions League and Manchester United 4-1 at Old Trafford – as Gerrard and Torres caused havoc.
