Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In the second of our Dream Team series, five times European Cup winners and 18 times English League Champions, Liverpool, take to the field against the backdrop of the club's crucial first leg tie against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu with Steven Gerrard captaining his heroes. He is the only member of the current crop of players worthy of a place in the all-time XI, although his team-mates can console themselves that far greater players than them, including Roger Hunt, Emlyn Hughes, John Barnes, Ian Callaghan and Tommy Smith, have failed to make the team.

Next week, it's the legends of the San Siro's Rossoneri who are causing the selection headaches. So if you think Massimo Ambrosini should get the nod over Demetrio Albertini, Franco Baresi should wear the captain's armband instead of Paolo Maldini or Gunnar Nordahl should keep out Marco van Basten, then make your arguments convincing, your opinions brash and start influencing selection.
