Harry Kewell insists Liverpool were right to sign him ahead of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kewell believes Liverpool made the right decision signing him over Ronaldo in 2003.

Former Reds boss Gerard Houllier admits he allowed Ronaldo to join Manchester United over wage concerns and the presence of Kewell.

“I mean back when I signed for Liverpool, I think I was the number one person to go round in that year," Kewell told AS Diario

“I think he [Gerard Houllier] made the right decision.

“In hindsight yes, you could turn around and say a lot of things, there's a lot of great players that have gone elsewhere that have never been signed.

“I think recently the biggest one was Raul. He got let go by Atletico Madrid and then look where he went to."
