SPOTTED: Real Madrid pair Alonso and Arbeloa salute Liverpool and Anfield

The two former Reds took to the pitch as the two sides played out a 2-2 stalemate, with goals coming from Gerrard, Mario Balotelli and Chelsea's Didier Drogba.

However, it was the likes of Alonso and Arbeloa, as well as former Kop stars including Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres, who brought the crowds out this afternoon.

And standing with their arms around each other's shoulders, the two Spaniards smiled for the camera in front of an empty stadium.

Posting on his Twitter account, Arbeloa wrote: "We'll never walk alone."
