Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that star winger Raheem Sterling would be able to follow the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the Mirror, Liverpool face the daunting task of halting the man Rodgers rates as the best player in the world on Tuesday night when they travel to face European champions Real Madrid in the Bernabeu.

Rodgers said that at 19, Raheem has had a similar impact on the game to Ronaldo at the same age.

He also said that Raheem's best role model can be Ronaldo and that he is "super-efficient" as a footballer.

Raheem is a great professional and also an incredible player, said Rodgers.
