Soccernet Goes Tabloid...

Here's the Title...

Now take a close reading of the article in its entirety. Nowhere within does Rafa use the word "overcome," the closest he gets is: "This is the Champions League and over two legs anything is possible. It is a tough draw but I'm confident we can do well in the tie." Soccernet, in the first sentence, feels at liberty to state that Benitez predicts that Liverpool will win.

Of course, this twisting interviews around in article titles is a time-honoured tradition for the tabloid media, but looks like everyone is getting on the over-hyped bandwagon.

The only positive is that the Soccernet title left out any references to Heysel; we'll be getting more than our share of those in the coming weeks...

It's not really much to be happy about, though, when the positive bit is that the title blatantly misrepresents the interview's contents...
