Rafael Benitez 4-2-3-1 Tactic with Liverpool in 2004-2005 Champions League

This article will be based on Rafael Benitez 4-2-3-1 Tactic with Liverpool in the Uefa Champions League 2004/2005. In the 2004/2005 season, which was the debut season of Benitez as Liverpool’s head coach, Liverpool became European champions after pulling a historical 3-goal comeback against AC Milan. Benitez used two main tactics in that season a 4-4-2 tactic and a 4-2-3-1 tactic, but the 4-2-3-1 tactic was often used in the Champions League. Even though Benitez altered it in the final to a back-3 system, it was their main tactic heading to the finals.

While creating the replica of the 4-2-3-1 version, I chose FC Porto to represent the then-Liverpool team. With no further let’s get into the details of the tactical replica of his 4-2-3-1 tactic in FM23.
