Rivaldo sends heartfelt Liverpool message after playing for Barcelona legends at Anfield

Rivaldo was full of praise for Anfield after he scored from the spot during Barcelona Legends' 2-1 win over Liverpool Legends on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool took the lead in the first half through captain Steven Gerrard after he was brought down in the box and went on to convert his penalty beyond Angoy in the Barcelona goal.

Roger Garcia scored the equaliser for the away side on the stroke of half-time after being slipped in by Javier Saviola to finish beyond Sander Westerveld. Rivaldo then converted from the spot after Phil Babb committed a foul in the area.

Rivaldo, who was replaced by Luis Garcia straight after scoring his penalty, took to his Twitter account to praise Liverpool's stadium - where he once scored for Olympiakos in a Champions League tie before a Gerrard goal knocked the Greek side out of the competition.
