Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Arbeloa admits he was amazed by the Liverpool reception for his return a fortnight ago.
Arbeloa is expected to start tonight's Champions League tie in Madrid against his old club.
He told liverpoolfc.com: "It was really, really special and incredible for me.
"The fans were really warm with me. It was really emotional and I was really happy to be back at Anfield.
"It was a little bit strange hearing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' because I was on the opposition and it wasn't for me, but inside I was almost singing along. I could enjoy it and the atmosphere was great - as usual - at Anfield.
"The game was good for Real Madrid and the night was perfect."
