Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is agonising over how to eventually replace Steven Gerrard. He admits it's an almost impossible task.
"Going forward, we will need to find more like him but it is very hard to replace a player of that quality and stature.
"He has world class ability and that is what we need. He has real quality, the kind that lifted the game. He has a world class talent."
Rodgers will be hoping that Gerrard can once again rise to the big occasion against Basel tomorrow, saying: "He always makes the big contribution in the big games."
