Champions League Final

So i have to take my words back...All hopes of having a Manchester United & Chelsea Final were literally thrashed by Liverpool & AC Milan.

Chelsea had a 1-0 advantage over Liverpool going in the 2nd Leg. but Liverpool played like tigers in their home (literally!!!) Liverpool managed to level up the aggregate to 1-1 with a brilliant Agger goal from a well setup Gerrard freekick.

Liverpool never looked like conceding a goal even with a whole lot of pressure put upon them by Chelsea's counter-attack. The match saw no goals in the 2nd half, and even the extra time yielded no result. So it was upto the breathtaking penalties to see a team through to the finals.
Pepe Reina was the Hero for Liverpool has he saved 2 strikes out of 4 & made sure Liverpool went through to the finals.

In the other Semi Final, Manchester United had a 3-2 edge over AC Milan before going on to San Siro for the 2nd Leg. Kaka's 2 crucial away goals had definitely a part to play here.
It was no surprise that Kaka levelled up the aggregate to 3-3 & gave AC Milan a chance to go through on away goals.

Not long after that Seedorf managed to get a well struck goal for Milan in the 1st Half.

Manchester United lacked their usual "awesome" gameplay. Gattuso managed to keep Ronaldo quiet the entire game. Rooney was no where to be seen. It wasnt the usual Manchester United we've seen throughout the season.

Milan managed to get another goal via Alberto Gilardino to seal their position in the final.
So it all comes down to Athens - 23rd May - AC Milan v/s Liverpool.
Milan will be hopping to avenge their defeat, the last time they met Liverpool in the finals in Istanbul (2005). Liverpool had managed to overcome a 3-0 halftime deficit to take the finals to penalties.

Its an awesome finals to watch with 2 different playing sides battling it out for Europe's Top Spot. I know i'll be there to watch it through.
