Jamie Carragher has evidenced his claim that Steven Gerrard is among the world's elite midfielders with a photo of the Liverpool icon holding an award next to Lionel Messi.
Carragher was involved in a debate on CBS Sports after Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu.
Kevin De Bruyne was on hand to equalize for City with a long-range drive into the bottom corner, scoring his second goal of this season's competition.
The discussion centered around whether De Bruyne would only be considered among football's greatest midfielders if he guided City to a Champions League title, much like Gerrard did with Liverpool in 2005.
He explained, "That's what the greatest players do. They have those moments that we all remember.
"Thierry [Henry, studio pundit for the game] is right; if he [De Bruyne] could be the man who takes them to the Champions League, the treble, it elevates him.
"We're not questioning his ability, but in terms of how we rank players, we only judge them in the biggest moments and the biggest tournaments."
