The greatest final ever!
Many avid football supporters have hailed Liverpool’s glory night as the best European Cup final ever. This will go down in history — people will be talking about it in 20 or 30 years’ time. It’s unbelievable. AC Milan, Liverpool's opponents, went 3-0 up before half-time and many thought the game was over. Shortly after the interval, we witnessed five minutes of madness that changed the course of things and cost AC Milan the cup. Three well taken goals led by captain Steve Gerrard, enabled the Kop fans to come back to equalise. The game went into extra time and the inevitable penalty shoot out was on the cards. Liverpool keeper, Jerzy Dudek's save from Shevchenko's penalty sealed cup glory for Liverpool. The Anfield side get to keep the trophy after winning it for a fifth time.
