Real Madrid fullback Arbeloa looking forward to Liverpool return

Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Arbeloa is looking forward to returning to Champions League opponents Liverpool.

Arbeloa is a former Reds defender.

"Going back to Liverpool after five years will be very special. I played at Anfield, so it will be great. But not just for me. I have told my team-mates to enjoy the match at Anfield as much as possible. Champions League nights and big games like this one at Anfield are very special. We're going to be up against a team that will come out to fight to the last and will give everything, because they need to win too.

"I grew a lot, both as a player and as a person. I spent two wonderful years there and I got used to a new culture."
