I played Dawn of War(DOW) in order to stay awake until the early hours of the morning(1am), the waiting was killing me so i switched off the computer and went straight for the TV...
It was a shocking first half for liverpool as AC Milan scored their first goal within 52 seconds on the start of the whistle. AC Milan's superb passing and counter attack proved to be too much for liverpool to handle and they "kena goreng" 3 -0 at the end of the first half.
With some change in tactics and substitutions liverpool finally found the spot with their first goal, a cross from Riise and header from Gerrard. All of a sudden the liverpool fans went berserk,the fans couldnt believe their eyes, at the end of the first half many would not have even imagined that liverpool would make a comeback after being 3 goals down. Its not easy to equalize against an Italian team when you're 3 goals down.
Soon after Smicer scored a sweet goal from 25 yards out. The drama just kept on going with a tackle on Gerrard by Gattuso and Xavi Alonso stepped up to take the penalty and make the scoreline 3 - 3. This went into extra time sudden death, Liverpool were hanging on, but Dudek rescued his side with two amazing reaction saves from Shevchenko at point-blank range to force penalties.
It was Dudek's night as he saved 2 penalties, he was jumping from left to right on the line of the goal mouth and even trying to immitate Bruce Grobbelaar's wobbly knees to try and confuse the penalty takers.This was a night to remember for Rafa Benitez's side completed the most remarkable comeback in the history of European finals to write a glorious new chapter in the club's already rich history.
This time it paid off for me to stay up and watch such an interesting and exciting match and feel so damn F*CKED up right now, I NEED SLEEP! :)
