The Spanish international, nicknamed El Nino in his homeland, is quickly settling into life at Anfield, his respect for the club, the fans and the manager evident. "I think Benitez is more than a manager.

"He's one of the greats in their history and people feel that way about him and they show it.

"And we all had an idea that he's somewhat special here but, honestly, what I saw at Anfield tonight was really impressive.

"I'm really impressed at how much he's loved by the people, above anything else, even the players.

"I feel their affection, the support for my team-mates and with each passing day I'm feeling more of a part of this and happier with everything and at the end of the day those things are reflected on the pitch."
