Liverpool vs Napoli: Remembering Marca’s ‘This is Anfield so what?’ headline after Dries Mertens ridicules famous sign
Napoli ace Dries Mertens has made fun of Liverpool’s famous ‘This is Anfield’ sign ahead of the two teams clashing in the Champions League this evening.Mertens could not believe just how disappointing the sign was when he visited the Reds’ famous home eight years ago while playing for Utrecht.Mertens has a second opportunity to see the famous sign tonight3
Mertens has a second opportunity to see the famous sign tonight
My strongest memory is that they have a sign saying This is Anfield and everyone was talking about it, so I was thinking its very big, you know.I came through the tunnel and I asked, Where is the thing? and they said you missed it and I hadnt noticed it.So, in the second half, Im looking at this small thing and asking, Is this so special?

  • Ian Rush EXCLUSIVE: Europa League could derail Liverpools title challenge
  • Joe Gomez signs new long-term contract with Liverpool
Mertens’ comments have obviously not gone down well with Liverpool fans, who hope their side run riot against Napoli tonight to get revenge – and book their place in the Champions League knockout stage.And it would not be the first time the Merseyside club have got their own back after the ‘This is Anfield’ sign was disrespected. Back in March 2009, Real Madrid rocked up at Anfield in the Champions League last 16, needing to recover from a 1-0 defeat suffered to Rafa Benitez’s side at the Bernabeu in the first leg of the tie.On the day of the second leg, Madrid-based publication Marca ran as their headline story: ‘This is Anfield… so what?’.This did not age well3
This did not age well
The headline was meant to downplay Liverpool’s famous home and those historic European nights which are so often spoken about.It did NOT work, however.Clearly fired up by the negative coverage, Liverpool ran riot that evening, scoring four times in front of their own fans to knock Real Madrid out of Europe by a 5-0 aggregate scoreline.Fernando Torres opened the scoring, with Steven Gerrard adding Liverpool’s second – from the penalty spot – and third either side of half-time.Gerrard and co got the perfect revenge over Real Madrid3

And then, to round off the revenge, even Andrea Dossena scored for the hosts.A repeat of that performance tonight, against Napoli, would be the perfect way to get revenge over Mertens and his complete disrespect of that famous, famous sign.
