Liverpool will go back to Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul tonight. Memories start flowing back.....
25 May 2005, the best ever Champions League final was played there. AC Milan vs Liverpool. 3-0 down in the first half, but amazingly, Liverpool fought back in the second half, all within 6 minutes! And that double save from Shevchenko's effort with just few minutes left in the extra time - amazing! If Dudek didn't save that, the cup would have land in Milan.
Eventually, it went into the penalties. Again, Shevchenko was the 5th person from Milan to take the penalty. If he couldn't score that, they would become the losing side.
THE CUP IS BACK TO LIVERPOOL!!!!!!! That was simply unbelievable! 5-time Champions of Europe!!! IT'S OURS TO KEEP!!!!
I'm reminiscing the wonderful night.
But of course, they won't be playing against AC tonight, it will be Galatasaray. The 3 goals down in first half would NOT happen to Liverpool again, definitely, although they are already top in the group and a number of players will be rested like Stevie G, Sami Hyypia and Steve Finnan.
Has Man Utd won 5 times?! Nah...... Only TWICE!!! And they might lose out the chance to get into the knockout stage again this year! Chelsea = NONE!!! Lalalalala......
