Liverpool fans have paid tribute to Anfield hero Rafa Benitez

It’s not often that someone not presently associated with Liverpool is cheered when they come to Anfield, but on Wednesday, that’s exactly what Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez was treated to.
Of course, the manager previously managed the Reds, and he’s gone down as a real legend at Anfield. He brought them the Champions League, let’s not forget, and above all else, he had a brilliant rapport with the fans.
Whilst he may no longer be in the home dugout at Anfield, he’s still as popular as ever.
Clearly, Rafa still loves Liverpool – and judging by the responses to the message online, Liverpool loves him too.
Liverpool recently shared the message from Rafa on Twitter, and in response, many fans paid tribute to the former manager. He’s still a fan favourite, even if he’s no longer the boss.
