Liverpool Victorious!

In what is arguably one of the greatest comebacks in European Football, Liverpool FC defeated AC Milan 3-2 in penalty shootouts to become this year's Champions League Winners.

What made the match a comeback was that AC Milan was up 3-0 at the half with almost everybody wrote Liverpool off, considering AC Milan was playing some fantastic football. But Liverpool changed forms completely, adopting AC's quick passing game with very few lobs or long balls in the first 15 minutes of the second half. Within 6 minutes leading up to 60 minutes, Liverpool scored 3 goals (1 on a likely controversial penalty kick) to tie it up. Liverpool's goalkeeper Dudek made what some outstanding saves to keep the team in the game...

I haven't watched such an exciting Champions League final since Man United defeated Bayern Munich in injury time to win the trophy. This definitely tops it.

If Cam doesn't blog about this, I'll be sorely disappointed.
