You Will Never Walk Alone Again

Only one word : U N B E L I E V A B L E~

Anfield was beaming in red ; hardly any blues really.... Players were anxious and the managers even so.

The goal of Luis Garcia didn't look like one from where the cameras were shooting, and we could so clearly see that the Chelsea defenders tried so hard in kicking the ball out of the goal post. That's as early as the 3rd minute of the Second Leg which happened in Anfield. I think many would call that goal a controversial one, but nevertheless as Benitez puts it :

"We are in the final. They(Chelsea) beat us three times by the odd goal this season and we beat Chelsea tonight. I am a very proud manager."

A few memorable incidents:
1. Rafa was so excitedly shouting to his boys during the last few minutes of the game that he overstepped into Mour's territory. I was surprised to see Mour didnt scour at him...
2. Two idiotic fans held up play by running onto the pitch - one flinging a flag in Mourinho's face.
3. The whole Reds winning was just moments of being crushed - not only from entering the finals of Champions League this year, but also from even entering Champions League next year since Liverpool did not make it into the top 4 teams of EPL. How could it have been crushed?
  • Time: 1 minute before 96' (90'+6' extra time)
  • Incident : The ball was flicked one last time by Gudjohnsen , flashing a shot inches wide with the goal seemingly at his mercy. But it was not meant to be ; no one finished it for him.... Else, the Reds would have to go home crying and Blues would still have their Triple Shot dream this season.
Man of the Match?
Must be Jerzy Dudek man...he saved soooo many attempts for Liverpool. One most memorable one was from Lampard. Undeniably!

Facts aside, I made a promise to a few Liverpool fans that I would be a part of the LFC if the team makes it to the finals of Champions League this year, never did I know that it would happen....

Now Liverpool is just waiting for whoever is going to win the Second Leg between AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven. I think AC is going to win in style.Maybe 1-0.

.......You Will Never Walk Alone Again....
