Benitez: Gerrard is the best in the world

Saturday, 4th October 2008

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has described midfielder Steven Gerrard as the world’s best attacking midfielder at this moment of time.

“It’s a really good achievement, especially when you talk about a midfielder. As a midfielder going forward, he is maybe the best in the world,” Rafa told the official website.

“And if you ask me how many players there are in the world at his level, I’d say four or five.”

Gerrard scored his 100th goal for Liverpool against PSV last Wednesday night. He has made 448 appearances for the club.
