The insufferable Portuguese still bemoans the incident to this very day, safe in the knowledge our besotted press will never challenge him on the matter.We’ll never know whether or not Garcia’s impish effort did cross the line but someone should really ask Jose Mourinho about the consequences had it not.The Spaniard was afforded room only after Petr Cech had pole axed Milan Baros to deny a clear goal scoring opportunity.Would he really have preferred to face a penalty and contest the remaining 84 minutes with 10 men? "Just as García was in his three years at the club.García cites how Petr Cech flattened Milan Baros before the goal. But those last 20 minutes I watched from the bench and was suffering.

Former Anfield star says he is still asked about the controversial Champions League goal … "It is the same now. "So, was it? The defenders are playing good, the midfielders are good, the strikers are on fire. I said: 'Sure'. You clap your hands and say: 'We are at home.' On Tuesday Mourinho, who was then in his first season of his first spell as Chelsea's manager, indicated that nine years of bitterness remains. It is very good. He said: 'Can I have a photo?' "I met him [when both were] at Barcelona, and after I spoke a few times when he was a manager in Portugal, before he went to Porto, about signing for him." Always around the world this happens.

There are many good sides in the Premier League, many good players, so this is the right moment to put Liverpool back where it has to be. As will be true on Sunday, the atmosphere on 3 May 2005 was particularly memorable. When you stop, you can hear the atmosphere. When Luis Garcia toe-poked goal-wards in the Champions League Semi Final of 2005 he did so after latching onto a loose ball. "I was in Oman in March playing with the former players of Barcelona against Real Madrid.
"If I have to be honest, when you go into a game like that you are so concentrated, your mind is so focused that you block out a lot of things," García says. Everyone is enjoying watching Liverpool play. "In the other semi-final we lost with a goal that was not a goal but that's part of football," he said to bewail the club's luck in the Champions League. Then he said: 'And was it a goal or not? Garcia’s Ghost goal Not so much a myth as opposed to half the story. I started doubting for a moment because for two seconds none of my team-mates were close and I started thinking: 'Oh my goodness, maybe it wasn't.' Jamie Jackson .

Liverpool will welcome Barcelona for the second leg of their encounter in the Champions League’s semi-finals. Luis García: I doubted Liverpool 'ghost goal', then I started screaming. If not it would have been a penalty and a red card, so we don't know if it was better what happened or not. "Mourinho congratulated me at the end of the game, but I actually had a very good relationship with him," he says. "I played for 70 minutes and I remember feeling very nervous for the final 20. When we were in Muscat, the capital city, we went to a shopping complex and I saw a man with a red shirt on.
"We can say: 'If this', 'if that'.
