LIVERPOOL is Europe’s Champion
What a game!!!!
A miracle happened in the wee hours of this morning, in 6 mins, Liverpool reversed a 3 goals deficit to equal the score at 3-3 in the 60th min before beating Milan 3-2 in the penalty shoot out with Dudek saving the spot kick from Shevchenko…
What a comeback…..my next block neighbour was shouting non-stop for joy at 5.45 am!!
Liverpool won because they were hungrier, they wanted more and they fight even harder when the odds are down. Milan had 9 clean sheets in the Champion League (“CL”) and no team in the CL’s 50 years history has come back to win the match from 3 goals down. This is even better than Man Utd’s 1999 victory over Bayern Munich.
The 3 goals from Milan were largely Liverpool’s defensive mistakes and the clever vision of Milan’s Kaka where Crespo was there to put in the final touches (Mourihno – you still want Crespo back??). Kewell ‘s dismay performance gave Milan the edge in midfield in the first half.
Hamman came in for the second half replacing Finnan. The commentator said that the latter was injured but I think it is a tactical move by Benitez. Liverpool was a different team altogether. Hamman stop the advances by Milan and spray the passes to create the spaces and opportunities.
Liverpool came back in 6 mins of greatness with strikes from Gerrard & Smicer with Alonso scoring from the rebound of his penalty kick that Dede was only able to parry back to him to slot home from 2 yards.
Liverpool then dig in and defended all the way. The defining moment was Dudek’s double saves from Shevchenko in the dying mins of the extra-time. Lady luck smiled on Liverpool when Milan missed the first 2 penalty kicks and then Shevchenko’s kick struck the hand of the diving Dudek…the Stadium roared and Liverpool has won it by 3-2 on penalties.
I am still catching my breath from watching the game…many would say that this is the second time in a week that the better team did not win. But I would say that this is a different story from Arsenal’s penalty kicks FA Cup victory over Man Utd last Saturday, Liverpool fought and it showed that nothing is impossible, a miracle happened and they created the biggest comeback in football history.
Well done and congratulations to Liverpool and all the Liverpool fans out there…no one really think that they have a chance to go so far…
Now, the ball is in the English FA’s court again – are you going to send Everton, a team that lost 7-0 to Arsenal for next year CL or Liverpool, who won the CL Cup in such stunning fashion, for next year’s CL…think again English FA…think again very carefully.
