Jordan Henderson sees all the ingredients for tonight's Champions League clash with AC Milan at Anfield to be an extra special occasion.
Liverpool begin their Group B schedule against the Serie A side with a capacity crowd set to experience a European contest in L4 for the first time in more than 18 months.
The Reds skipper is thrilled by the prospect, which is heightened, in his view, by the deeply rich history both clubs share in the competition and the rarity of their meetings.
“A European night at Anfield with fans. Wow,” Henderson says in his matchday programme notes, which were written before last weekend’s win at Leeds United.
