What a match... the reds have done it at last...
Heres my play-by-play of my Champions League Final...
7:45 The teams kick off, I sit at home with a Yorkie, Dr. Pepper & hope. Although at this stage I'm excited and confident.
7:46 In shock, realise that Liverpool can actually lose this game as Maldini scores a fine goal which should have been stopped by Jerzey Dudek or one of the 8 Liverpool players in the box.
8:24 Comeback hopes Crushed as Crespo scores, dreams of winning fade away, in attempt to cover up I blame goal on a supposed hand ball which would have given Liverpool a penalty if penalised.
8:29 Crespo scores a magnificant goal from possibly the greatest pass I've ever seen from Kaka, I start to think that if the penalty was given Liverpool would have scored and the second or third goals mightened of came.
Half Time: I tell myself that "we can still win it" in an attempt to convince myself that its actually possible, the fact that Liverpool have to score 3, and stop Milan scoring any after that half seems so far-fetched, not even kicking the ball off my wall trying to picture it happening works. I cross my fingers.
8:51 Some sort of smile comes over my face as Gerrard scores a fine header, hoping that somehow we can even the score in the next 40 minutes, still don't believe its possible.
8:53 Dream becomes possibility after Smicer scores from outside the box to put Liverpool only a goal behind.
8:57 Dream becomes reality after Xabi Alonso scores from close range, after Dida denying him of a penalty.
End Of Normal Time: Fingers are still crossed, blood has stoped running to one, wait anxiously for Extra-Time to begin.
10:15 Feel somewhat glad that Liverpool survived another 30 minutes of football against the Italian Giants, especially after Dudek's marvelous saves a minute from the final whistle, feel excited, joyed, nervous, scared & hopeful. Predict that AC would miss their first 2 peno's, was right, also can tell Riise's gonna miss - dunno how, start walking in a circle around my coffee table, Dudek puts Andrei Shevchencko off with the old Grobbalar trick as he waits to take his penalty.
10:23 Andrei Shevchencko misses and Liverpool after being slaughtered in the first half, comeback in 6 minutes and hold AC off and win... don't care about the supposed penalty anymore.
10:24 Celebration begins... what a match
