Liverpool boss Benitez blanks questions over owners row

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez refused to talk about his row with the club's owners at his Champions League media conference yesterday.

Benitez will go into the clash with the Portuguese champions after clear-the-air talks with chief executive Rick Parry.

He said: "As manager of Liverpool I know that the match against Porto is the most important thing, so I do not want to talk about anything else.

"I am sure we will win and play well, then I will be thinking about the next game, beating Bolton on Sunday.

"You can ask about the meeting with Rick Parry, but I will only talk about Porto, that is the only thing I am concerned about.

"We were thinking about Porto, were talking, but we talk a lot. We were talking about different things, but the most important thing for my club and our supporters is the game."

The Spaniard added: "For the future? I have my plans ready...for winning the next game."
