Former Liverpool forward Luis Garcia is looking forward to walking out at Anfield again - only this time in the colours of Atletico Madrid.
Such was the bond forrged between Luis Garcia and the Liverpool fans when the Spanish midfielder was an Anfield cult-hero that he says he will derive no joy from scoring against the Reds for his current club, Atletico Madrid, when the two teams meet in Champions League action on Wednesday.by Graham Lister
Atletico Madrid coach Javier Aguirre has hit out at home fans that barracked Luis Garcia during yesterday’s defeat to Sevilla.
“We are fortunate to have Luis Garcia with us, he is a charming guy and a great professional,” said Aguirre at the end of the 1-0 defeat. “If the fans boo, they’re not just booing Luis, but the whole team.
“What we have to do now is turn the page and not give a reaction to the fans that booed.”
