Re: Champions League final AC Milan v Liverpool 23rd May

I would just love Liverpool to do it (my keegan impression) and bring home the Champs League but after the way Milan TOTALLY destroyed Man U i just don't think it will happen.

Milan will still be smarting from the way Liverpool came from 0-3 down a couple of yrs ago and will be determined not to see that happen again.

Milan looked the total side against United and never once looked like they were not in control of the game for long periods in the first leg and the full 90 in the second leg, they have experience in abundance which i thought would tire against a young fit side like United but they never did and they made United look like boys against men.

The only way i see to beat Milan is to have a top notch striker who could slot away a shot or two in the very few chances you get playing against them, Something liverpool don't possess as Kuyt is no Alan Shearer and Crouch will be bread and butter for Nesta and Maldini if they start playing the long ball.

Liverpool's only chance imo will come from set pieces like against Chelsea but it will take a huge effort to keep Milan at bay allthough to be fair Milan are lacking up front too but when you have a player like Kaka behind you it more than compensates for that.

Both these teams have European pedigree in abundance but on the semi performances I just cannot see Liverpool finding a way past Milan allthough i hope they do.

AC Milan for me by a couple of goals.
