Road to Athens: Milan vs. Liverpool

There are two obvious remarkable facts when AC Milan and Liverpool square off in the Champions League final on Wednesday: 1) It's a rematch of the 2005 final, perhaps the greatest ever played; 2) it's quite possibly the most unlikely matchup in the tournament. Neither club came anywhere near winning their domestic leagues. But both teams -- Milan electrified by Kaká (left), Liverpool steadied by Steven Gerrard -- earned the right to play for the European Cup in Athens. Here's how they got there.
To truly understand the significance of this matchup, rewind to the 2005 final in Istanbul, Turkey. A masterful first half by Milan carried the Rossoneri into the dressing room with a 3-0 halftime lead, their seventh European Cup a foregone conclusion. Incredibly, Liverpool rallied to tie the game with three goals in a six-minute span in the second half. The game went to penalty kicks and the Reds won out, thanks to three heroic stops by Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek (in black).推荐 收藏 导入论坛 等级(0) 编辑 管理 查看(35) 评论(1) 评分(0/0)
