Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez will shake hands with Sir Alex Ferguson today - despite his series of rants against the Manchester United manager.
He said: "The facts are the facts, I can't change that. I will have to improve my English! But, really, I don't think that made any difference.
"I haven't spoken to him about it. But I will shake his hand, because I have a lot of respect for him.
"He's a great manager of a big team. But I have to defend my club.
"And if Steven Gerrard had scored at Stoke, instead of hitting a post, the facts would still be the same."
