CL draw: A club we've beaten every time, a club Gerrard has a grudge against, and the 'Chelsea' of Bulgaria

Though nothing will be 'easy', good fortune gifted LFC with a very manageable Champions League group.  Though we have met only three times ever, we have beaten Real Madrid each time.  The first time in the 1981 European Cup final in the Parc De Princes in France. Alan Kennedy's lone effort in the 81st minutes gave the Reds a 1-0 victory and a return to European supremacy after being dethroned by Nottingham Forest the previous two seasons.

Sergio Ramos & company will look to make amends for his club's embarassing display in their only trip ever to Anfield in March 2009.  They were dismantled by Gerrard and Torres with Andre Dossena adding further to their misery with a late goal of his own.

We were drawn against Basel in the group stage of the 2002 Champions League as well.  Both ties ended in draws, 1-1 at Anfield and 3-3 at St. Jakob-Park.  In the latter match, Gerrard was subbed for Salif Diao in one of his most embarassing career moments.

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad were founded in 2001.  They have about as much a history as Chelsea.
