There is one story plastered across the back pages of Tuesday's newspapers and that is Rafa Benitez's demand for Liverpool to be given the credit they deserve for their European exploits.
Speaking ahead of the Reds' clash with Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League Benitez pointed out that Liverpool are the best team in Europe in UEFA's coefficient rankings and thinks the media should be more positive in their coverage.
It is therefore somewhat ironic that The Sun interpreted this in typically sensational fashion claiming it was Rafa Rant II as he roared: You lot don't appreciate us enough!
What the Spaniard actually said was: "I don't think the messages about our performance have been as positive as they could have been."
"But when you look at what we have done in reaching two finals and a semi, it means a lot of credit for the players, a lot of memories for the club and a lot of money too."
The Daily Mail take a slightly softer stance, claiming Rafa is simply demanding a little more respect.
"The UEFA findings show we have the best record in Europe over the last five years,' Benitez told the newspaper. ”We have won it once, reached the final another time and have always been challenging in the later stages. Yet some of the messages still coming my way are not the best."
The Daily Star also focus on Benitez and report that he has vowed to beat Real Madrid and Manchester United as his side continue to battle for European glory and the domestic title.
The Reds face Real on Tuesday and Premier League leaders United on Saturday and Benitez insists his team will triumph in both games.
"At this stage of the season I would not be happy with just the Champions League, I want both," Benitez said. "If we beat Real we will be in a good position in the Champions League ... If we beat United we will still be in the title race. I want to win both and believe we can."
The Daily Mirror report that Real coach Juande Ramos has turned up the heat on his opposite number ahead of the European clash by branding his Liverpool side boring and claiming their victory in the first leg was 'undeserved'.
"Liverpool came to Madrid not to play football at all, but to try to force a 0-0," Ramos complained. "They will play the same way at Anfield. We know what they are like, I am sure of that."
In other news, Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted he is struggling to control his anger as opponents continue to kick him.
Ronaldo, who can expect more rough stuff against Inter Milan on Wednesday, told The Sun: "I am a target of course so it is difficult to avoid certain things. I try to control my anger. Sometimes it's not easy, though, and it is something I have to improve on."
United team-mate Patrice Evra reveals in the Daily Star that he thinks the Red Devils can win the Quintuple this season because of their miserly defence.
"Winning these five trophies would be the stuff of legend. We are hungry for it," Evra said. "It's true that last year we won the league and Champions League, but we want even more this year."
Guus Hiddink is considering handing Michael Essien his first Chelsea start in more than six months in Tuesday's critical Champions League knockout tie at Juventus, according The Guardian.
The Ghanaian, who ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament in September, could feature on the right of midfield.
Meanwhile, Juve manager Claudio Ranieri claims the widening gulf between Italian and English clubs is purely down to money.
"I would not say we have an inferiority complex," Ranieri told the Daily Express. "If there is any inferiority complex at all, then it is about having less money, but that is not a complex but a circumstance."
It was Ranieri himself who was one of the first to benefit from English football's new-found wealth - spending Roman Abramovich's millions as manager of Chelsea.
