Joining us on today’s episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, is The Independent’s Vithushan Ehantharajah! His chose today's game based on pure, glorious nostalgia: Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal from 2004. This game, with its mix of technical ability and unrelenting pace, was a tremendous advert for the Premier League. Arsenal’s performances were beginning to falter after coming off their invincible season, though this was still only their second defeat in 55 league matches. The goal they did score, a truly glorious one, served as a fleeting mirage of that previous Arsenal. Their opponents came flying out the traps, with Xabi Alonso particularly impressive, and played their part in a classic Premier League affair.

No international team has typified the last ten years of football better than Spain and their three trophies in a row between 2008 and 2012. With a group of all-time great players such as Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos, La Furia Roja dominated the international landscape for our first five years in the studio.
