Emotional Owen confesses to being overwhelmed during Liverpool return - Ansser Sadiq

The former England forward scored an impressive 158 goals in 297 games for Liverpool, before transferring to Real Madrid, Newcastle United, and eventually Manchester United.

Owen stated on Jamie Carragher’s Greatest Game podcast in 2020: "It has been painful going back to Anfield. 

"Crying in the players' lounge and hoping nobody sees. It has been torture for a long time.” 

He added: "It is like splitting up with your wife. I can only blame myself, I said yes to Real Madrid. I still love Liverpool.  

“Different to (Carragher), you are still at that club being idolized. I was you.”
