Liverpool FC, Champions of Europe !!

20 years after their last appearance in a European Final, Liverpool FC were crowned Champions of Europe in Istanbul, after extra time and penalties. In an incredible game of extremes, both teams produced one half of dream football. Three goals in the first half by a classy AC Milan team, left most thinking that the Final was done and dusted, but an inspired comeback in the second half, lead by the impressive Steven Gerrard saw Liverpool FC score three goals to equalize. 3-3 at the end of the 90 mins meant a grueling extra 30 mins, during which Dudek (LIV) pulled off one of the greatest double saves seen in the competition's history. This meant the winner would be decided by penalties and here again Dudek proved himself to be the most decisive element, saving two of the four penalties. What a great game ! Congratulations to Liverpool FC.
