Twas a night of glory for the soccer afficionado
Rare moment as Rafa’s offensive set Anfield aglow
With the league title hopes all but laid to rest
Nought at Stanley Park but to pit wits with Europe’s best
Jovial Kop hordes on tenterhooks savoured their Brie
Whilst beholding the annihilation of the Real family
Anticipating a Real backlash, would cautious Rafa dig a moat?
Last minute mind change led to a wild lunge for the throat
Nine loyal soldiers bolstering El Torres and Gerrard
Adrenalin drenched powerplay led by the old guard
Uproarious Spanish Evertonian knocked off his high throne
And each imperial Red will now never walk alone
Fever pitch hits the Kop and upped is the crescendo
With Real devoid of a Puskas and Di Stefano
Etched into the annals none will forget this colossal meeting
Juande’s mighty troops just took one hell of a beating
