Daniel Agger admitted he had missed the buzz of playing in front of a capacity crowd at Anfield.

The former Liverpool defender loved every second of being reunited with team-mates like Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Dirk Kuyt and Xabi Alonso for Saturday’s legends showdown with Bayern Munich.

Agger, who made 232 appearances for the Reds, retired from football two years ago and now lives in Spain.

“It’s just being in a game, feeling the atmosphere and playing for something,” he told Liverpoolfc.com

“When you get out of football, it’s difficult to reproduce that in anything you do. That has been the hardest thing for me. It’s always nice to see the guys and to play alongside them is even better.

“The most important thing was the show and the cause, helping the foundation.

“It was hard but it’s always nice to be back, especially in front of a full house. I haven’t touched the ball since the Sydney trip last year, so it was nice to touch it again but it’s getting harder and harder.”

Asked about the 54,000 turnout, he added: “I’m not sure it can happen anywhere else in the world. Here, it happens every single time. This is the least we can do.”
