Carraghers displays against Barcelona and previous European great sides have shown that he is more than able to take on the greatest players in Europe.

Gerrard said:

“Over the two legs, Carra has been phenomenal. Maybe there are a few outside Liverpool who are surprised by how good he has been but it is no surprise to me or anyone else who has seen him just get better and better every season.

“I look around at the defenders across Europe and the rest of the world, and I really do not see anyone who is better than him. I definitely would not swap him for anyone.

“I also know the England manager Steve McClaren was in the crowd at Anfield against Barcelona, and after seeing a performance like that, it is going to make his next team selection very interesting.”
