It was a good match but any match that is decided on penalties isn't really that great, as my mate says "its just a draw"

* John Anderton remembers that match ....

After that Milan sent a 2nd grade side to the next Champions League match as all their top players played in that match .... Milan lost but it was ok as they had already qualified for the next round
So next yr in the Intercontinental cup it is Liverpool vs ???

---

Vs. whoever wins the Libertadores cup... Boca and River are in quarterfinals.

BTW, the Intercontinental cup is in December

yes they won ! i was so glad they did dudek is my hero

Dudek just copied Bruce Grobbelar with the dancing on the line before the penalties. Liverpool didn't deserve to win, or even be there. Chelsea should've been there. And AC Milan totally outplayed them.

In the 1st half but in the 2nd their defence was like a leaky claudron Liverpool did a bit better in defence in the 2nd half

He was goalkeeper for LFC in the mighty eighties, and did a similar show on penalty shootout last time LFC won the European Cup in 1984.

Even though I'm a LFC fan, I see that if football should have been 100% fair, and the play have counted, AC Milan should have won. So a lot of people may say that LFC was lucky, when AC had their first 2-0 cancelled due to offside, and when a "miracle" happend on Schevchenko's double-chance in the 117. minute, but in the end there is the goals that counts, this time LFC got 6, AC got only 5.

A lot of people are curious what Benitez told the players at half time. According to John Arne Riise interviewed on Norwegian TV3 after the match, he didn't say much, except reminding the players that they had scored 3 in one half earlier this season - against Juventus. But the players heard 35.000 fans singing "You'll never walk alone" from the tribunes, and realized that most of them had spent most of their savings by following the team to Turkey. So they decided to go out there, do their best, and at least not humiliate them self. Well, they didn't!

I envy my brother, who was ringside on Atatürk stadium wednesday evening!

PS! Sorry for any bad English, as it is not my native language.

Football isn't a matter of life or death, it is much more important than that! - Bill Shankly

Btw .... life aint fair and neither is any sport.
U play better on the day and u take the title ... u make one mistake and ur done ...
Look at what happened to PSV ... milan shouldnt have been in the final if soccer was fair So nobody can blame anyone
One lapse of concentration cost PSV same was the case here

But in the second half Milan again sat back to do what
they supposedly are best at, -defending

---

Ya that was the biggest mistake cause they are a team with a beautiful defence having legends like Paulo Maldini but their defence is aging and thats their weak point.
The 1st goal they conceeded was thru odinary marking, 2nd thru not staying on the ball (Simply too much space was allowed and Smitcer took the shot) and the last one again ... well dont need to explain there

Liverpool deserved to be there. Chelski was due for a loss against Liverpool. Pretty much every game played between the two teams this year, Liverpool carried most of the play but didnt get the breaks. Chelski lost fair and sqaure as well as AC Milan. If you cant hold a 3-0 you shouldn't be champions of Europe.

Stevie G did go down easy but the counter attack that AC scored their second goal was clearly handdle by the Milan defense. I think the penalty was called to make things even.

Congrats to Liverpool...this is coming from a Man U fan too.
