PETE JENSON: Agustin Rodriguez was Real Madrid's goalkeeper the last time they faced Liverpool in a European Cup final in Paris in 1981. He's watched every comeback unfold on their glorious run this time and believes tonight's showdown is wide open

He was a 21-year-old rookie goalkeeper facing the mighty Liverpool back in 1981, now 41-years later Agustin Rodriguez has been with Real Madrid every step of the way on their journey back to another Paris final.

Still treasuring the shirt he swapped with Ray Clemence after the game Liverpool won 1-0 in the Parc des Princes thanks to an Alan Kennedy goal, Agustin is now a season ticket holder at the Santiago Bernabeu.

He was in his usual seat, or more accurately out of it, the nights Madrid came back from the dead against Paris Saint Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City.
