According to Carragher, he was given a Paolo Maldini shirt - with Gerrard also getting his hands on one.

Asked if he still has his shirt from the famous fixture, the Reds legend told Tops of The Kop: "Yes. The club have got that now. So, what I did... I didn't swap - I ended up getting a hold of Maldini's shirt.

"Stevie's got one as well."

He added: "They left everything in the dressing room. Medals, kits and everything. So, basically everyone was just in there getting stuff... someone said to me 'do you want Maldini's shirt?'

"I've still got Maldini's shirt, and the club have got mine."

In 2023, Maldini joined Carragher on CBS Sports, where the former defenders reminisced on their encounters, which includes two Champions League finals.

"We played against each other in two Champions League finals, that was a huge honour for me being a defender who looked up to yourself and Franco Baresi," Carragher told Maldini.

"But I just wanted to let you know that I have your shirt from the final in 2005. It is a huge honour for me to have that shirt, you don’t want it back, no?"
