CARRA: ONE OF OUR BIGGEST EVER RESULTS

Paul Eaton 06 March 2007 Jamie Carragher reflected on Liverpool's elimination of Barcelona from this season's Champions League and insisted: "It's probably our biggest ever result in Europe."

Despite losing 1-0 on the night at Anfield, Liverpool moved into the last eight of the competition thanks to the away goals rule following their 2-1 victory in the Nou Camp two weeks ago. "The club's got a great history in Europe but besides winning finals this is probably the biggest result in Europe we've ever had," he said. "Barcelona are the best club side in the world, even though we've knocked them out. "We were hanging on - with 10-12 minutes to go we were just praying for the whistle. "We didn't realise until a few seconds after the blew it that he had - we got there in the end." Skipper Steven Gerrard added: "We were unlucky not to go in at half-time ahead. "Barcelona are so good going forward, they play such nice football, but we stuck in there and are in the last eight now. "We've got great spirit, grit and determination - people were throwing bodies about and that's one of the reasons we're through. "It gives us great confidence, going through against the best side in Europe over two legs."
