Javier Mascherano paid tribute to Rafa Benítez in an interview with Panenka.

"Benítez took me from the pits of despair to the very top of my game. We've stayed in touch ever since we went our separate ways. He's an amazing person and a great teacher, a coach you can learn a lot from if you really want to", Mascherano said of the Spanish tactician, whom he played under at Liverpool.

The Argentine revealed that his relationship with the Real Madrid boss "has not changed", although "it's somewhat awkward right now". In any case, Mascherano said: "I'll leave Barça one day or he'll leave Real Madrid and everything will go back to normal. We still talk, but not as often as we used to".

"I used to speak with Rafa - when he was head coach at Napoli last season - and now we talk a little less due to obvious circumstances, but I'm really grateful to him", the 31-year-old added.

Even Rodgers could win la Liga at Real.

Would love to see Ronaldo as a wing back, I reckon he'd be good at it too!

Read today that Rafas Madrid have only conceded 2 La Liga goals this season. 10 less than Ancelotti at the same stage.

Hes going to win the thing isnt he

I see Rafa has those saps top of the league tonight.

Not quite the heady heights of a home struggle against a 4th Division side, but......

To be fair to most on here, I think we may be among a few old enough to remember when we were that good

[paulg]

That seems a lifetime ago, now.

There was a time, when Crouchie was playing too, where we won 7-8 games in a row. We were unplayable, everyone in tandem. Even Cisse played his part.Was awesome to watch. It wasn't the Gerrard/Torres show, it was better for me as we dominated games instead of relying on the brilliance of two players.
