Clarence Seedorf and Luis Figo labelled Anfield ‘amazing’ after playing at Liverpool’s home ground for Real Madrid’s Legends side on Saturday.

Seedorf and Figo showed flashes of their old magic but could not prevent Madrid from going down to a 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Reds’ own Legends team, with Michael Owen, John Aldridge, Robbie Fowler and Steven Gerrard getting on the scoresheet for the hosts.

However, two of the most decorated footballers of their generation - who, between them, boast more than 200 international caps, 13 league titles and five Champions League winner’s medals - relished their opportunity to wow a sell-out crowd in L4.

“I absolutely enjoyed it from the first to the last minute,” four-time European Cup-winner Seedorf, who swapped shirts with Gerrard at full-time, said.

“The most important thing is to entertain people as much as we can. Seven goals and in the last minutes a bit of tension, it was all good.

“It's a great cause and participating in these kind of games is fantastic. I'm not the first and I won't be the last to say that Anfield is absolutely amazing.”

Figo, a former Ballon d’Or and World Player of the Year award winner, echoed Seedorf’s sentiments.

“It's always amazing to play in stadiums like Anfield with this atmosphere, even when it's for a charity game and a fantastic cause,” said the former Portugal captain.

“We tried to enjoy it as much as possible. It's not easy for me to come back and play a game after six months without playing or training properly.

“What I do now is exercise that is nothing compared to what you need for football!”

Gerrard was involved in all four of Liverpool’s goals and was presented with the Man of the Match prize after the game.

Figo, who also represented Barcelona and Inter Milan during his stellar career, admitted to regretting the fact he never got to play alongside the former Reds skipper.

“There are moments in life that you have the possibility to play together but that moment wasn't possible,” he added.

“It's a pity because everyone wants to play with the best players and Gerrard has shown in his career that he was one of the best football players in his position.

“It was a pity, but in the same time for Liverpool it was lucky because he could show his quality and talent here at Anfield.”
