At 41 years old, Gerrard’s legs still seem easy to run. Just ask Edmilson, the Barcelona Legends defender who was overwhelmed and had to block Gerrard’s movement in the penalty box.
In addition to Gerrard’s excellent appearance, Liverpool fans were also entertained by Jamie Carragher’s reckless action.
Carragher, who throughout the match had an intense duel with Javier Saviola, played without a shin guard in the second half.
The Liverpool legend, who now works as a pundit, was actually replaced once the first half was over.

However, the injury to Phil Babb required Carragher to perform again in the second half.
When he returned to the field, Carragher was desperate to play without shin guards.
He was called by the fourth official, Ben Speedie. However, Carragher was only asked to lift his socks and was still allowed to play without shin guards.
