Last night, I dreamt that Liverpool has beaten Milan AC 2-0 in the Champions League final.

It’s 17:38 now, and the (real) match is starting in about 5 1/2 hour. I’m busy doing some kirtans and bajans just to make sure we win our 5th Champions League trophy :-)

The team I expect today is:

                Cisse
       
              Gerrard
Riise                         Luis Garcia
          Hamann      Alonso

Traore    Hyypia   Carragher    Finnan

                 Dudek

Good luck to you all !

At end of 90 minutes, the score was 3-3. As no goals in extra-time, the game went to penalties. Milan starts:

  • 0-0 – Serginho (Milan) misses from the penalty spot. The Brazilian playmaker blasts his effort over the bar.

  • 1-0 – Pirlo (Milan) missed the penalty saved by Dudek.
  • 2-0 – Cissé (Liverpool) scores from the penalty spot.

  • 3-2 – Shevchenko (Milan) missed the penalty saved by the goalkeeper. Another terrific save from Dudek.

Liverpool has won the Champions League Cup for the 5th time and the Cup is ours to keep!
