Maxi Rodriguez agrees Liverpool return for Barcelona visit

Liverpool fans are in for a nostalgic treat after it was confirmed Maxi Rodriguez will soon be returning to Anfield to turn out for the Reds' Legends side against Barcelona.

The 41-year-old former Argentina international, who only retired from professional football last year, enjoyed a two and a half year spell on Merseyside, making 73 appearances and scoring 17 goals.

And now the Kop favourite will turn out in front of supporters once again when Liverpool welcome a team of former Barca stars to Anfield on Saturday, March 26 for an LFC Foundation legends charity match.
