Liverpool fullback Alvaro Arbeloa admits the players love working for manager Rafa Benitez.

Benitez will take charge of his 66th European game with Liverpool on Wednesday night - more than any of his predecessors.

Asked about the man who brought him to Merseyside in January 2007, Arbeloa told liverpoolfc.tv: "We know everything about Rafa and his record here.

"He is a great manager - one of the best in the world. As a player, I'm really happy to be working with him."
