AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti believes Liverpool are the toughest opponents in European football.
The Italian has pitted his wits against Rafa Benitez's side in two Champions League finals, losing out in Istanbul in 2005 before prevailing two years later in Athens.

"Liverpool are the hardest team to play against in Europe," said Ancelotti.

"Benitez is a great coach. He has a well organised defence and the perfect counter-attack. To play against them is always dangerous.

"Liverpool don't let you play."
hardly the greatest compliment.
tbh, as a Utd fan, I'm happier with the compliments Utd, Arsenal and Barcelona get year in year out regarding the quality of our game, than to be known as a team that's "hard to beat".

but fair play to the skause, they've found a style that the big teams find difficult to combat, ugly though it is.
