NEW Spanish winger Albert Riera meets the press after arriving from Spanish side Espanyol and outlines his hopes for his new club

LIVERPOOL will meet PSV Eindhoven, Olympique Marseilles and Atletico Madrid in the group stages of the Champions League.

The ties will mean a reunion with his old club for Reds striker Fernando Torres, who arrived at Anfield from the Vicente Calderon last summer and also for 2005 Champions League hero Luis Garcia who moved in the opposition direction at the same time.

Atletico and Liverpool have not met in European competition before but the Reds have come up against both their other opponents in recent years.

DIRK KUYT marked his 100th game for Liverpool with arguably the most important goal he has scored for the club so far.

His late, late goal came in the 117th minute - ending a night of torture for Liverpool fans.

Kuyt sidefooted in at the far post after a great cross from substitute Ryan Babel.

HOW can a woman who lost her fifteen-year-old son in Britain's worst ever sporting disaster be described as 'lucky'?

When you factor in how her son's memory has been denigrated by the right-wing press and football 'fans' up and down the country ever since as well as how the British legal system has obstructed her tireless efforts to find out what really happened to her little boy, it seems even more of an incredible claim.

Yet Anne Williams, whose fifteen-year-old son Kevin was one of the 96 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough nearly two decades ago, believes she has been fortunate in some ways compared to many, if not all, of the bereaved whose loved ones were taken from them on that sunny April day in 1989.
