After all, only Chelsea and Manchester United domestically, and AC Milan in Europe, finished ‘higher’ than the Reds, and all three spent significantly more money than Liverpool in the process. Pound for pound, Benítez achieved more with his outlay than his main rivals. But, of course, no true winner will ever be happy with that.
