During Steven Gerrard's 17-year career with Liverpool, it was an incredible period, with many successes and a few disappointments for the player during his career. However, during his successes with the Reds, Gerrard was both the captain of the team and the best player in the team, for although he was accompanied by a number of stars, Steve G always shone as the best at Anfield.

He was one of the greatest legends in Liverpool's history, and despite being a midfielder, he was the fifth highest goalscorer in Reds' history, but Salah relegated him to sixth place. In 710 games played for Liverpool, Gerrard scored an incredible 186 goals. Steven's standards were well rewarded with the UEFA Player of the Year award, the best player in Europe, after winning the 2005 Champions League.
This match was a clear example of why Gerrard is so much better than Kevin De Bruyne. The 2005 Champions League final was one of, if not the best, final in the history of the tournament, and for this final, a relentless and forceful AC Milan, with legends of world football such as Cafu, Kaka, Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, the legendary Paolo Maldini and Andriy Shevchenko, not to mention a team that lacked deficiencies, as they had one of the best teams in history.
While the Reds for this final also had world-class players like Gerrard himself, goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek, John Arne Riise, Xabi Alonso, among a few others. There was no clear comparison as Liverpool were undoubtedly a more humble team than the historic Milan. So the Champions League won by Gerrard and Liverpool was much better than the final won by De Bruyne and the Citizens, because although the level of Inter Milan who played the final of the CL against the Citizens can not be discredited, it is much lower than the level of the rossoneris of 2005.

Although the Reds now have the most expensive team in the world, it is not the most expensive team in the Premier League. So Liverpool is far superior to all the other teams despite having a bigger budget team, which is constantly repeated. Proving that Liverpool doesn't need to be full of stars, as the team is so big that the players that are there deliver results.
