Hearing Liverpool fans belt out "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the terraces has helped inspire Spain's Olympic Committee president to seek lyrics to the country's wordless national anthem, he said on Tuesday.
"I had the chance to listen to "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the Liverpool v Chelsea Champions League match recently and it gave me goose bumps."
Spanish sports figures have come out in support of the idea, which has received backing from some politicians.
Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas said: "It would help fire up all the fans", and the captain of Spain's basketball world champions Carlos Jimenez added: "It would be good if it helped unite the players, and encourage the team spirit."
A former prime minister's attempt to come up with some lyrics a few years ago failed because no one could agree what they should be.
"No one should see this as a political opportunity. The intention is to reflect the pride of our sportspeople when they represent us at great events. Sport should unite people," Blanco said.
