Liverpool news: Luis Figo wishes Steven Gerrard had joined him at Real Madrid

Luis Figo admitted he once wanted Steven Gerrard to join Real Madrid after watching the former Liverpool captain shine in Saturday's charity match at Anfield.

Gerrard stole the show as the 'Liverpool Legends' team beat their Madrid counterparts 4-3 in an entertaining clash in aid of the LFC Foundation.

Gerrard, who recently took up a role on the Liverpool coaching staff following his retirement, had a hand in all four Reds goals - scoring one, setting up two and winning a penalty. The 36-year-old also rattled a shot off the bar for good measure on a sunny afternoon when an adoring crowd urged him to shoot at every opportunity.
