Liverpool's 2005 Champions League winning team: Where are they now?

7) Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard ended his Liverpool career on a low

If ever there has been a player synonymous with Liverpool FC, it is Steven Gerrard. Being one of the most exceptional home grown boys, Gerrard stayed for almost his entire playing career at LFC before finally leaving after the 2014-15 season to play for the LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer in the USA.

Up until the end of his stint at LFC, Gerrard occupied a principle role and was a dynamic leader who played passionately for the club, always scoring when his team needed him to. One of the best examples of this ability came on this particular night in Istanbul itself when he scored Liverpool's first goal in the second half after trailing 3-0 behind AC Milan.

Gerrard remains one of the best and most legendary captains of the club without a single Premier League title to show for his brilliance. He suffered several disastrous downs towards the end of his association with Liverpool.

His last game for the club saw LFC suffer a humiliating 6-1 defeat against Stoke City with the only goal by the Reds coming from Gerrard himself. In the 2013-14 season, the year Liverpool came very close to winning the title for the first time in 24 years, all of Gerrard's hopes of finally winning a League title as captain were shattered following a slip against Chelsea which cost Liverpool both the game and the title. Gerrard has since admitted that he remains “haunted” by that mistake.

He remains to date the only footballer to have scored in an FA Cup Final, A UEFA Cup final and a UEFA Champion's League Final.
