What can I say.
The hopefuls, tons and tons of Red Devils fans, full of confidence and arrogance, thinking and assuring that their team will be in Athens, setting up a all English Final for the European Cup.
What a let down, I am sure to all their follwers.
I was in Tokyo when the last 4 teams emerged. On CNN, one of their sports reporter said :"There is always that special someone in these teams to turn the game around and make things happen. In Chelsea, there is Drogba, Man U there is Ronaldo, AC Milan there is Kaka. I just do not see anyone from Liverpool fitting that role. They simply cannot make it into the final. The final will be between Chelsea and Man U."
I burst out laughing and switch channels. I remembered the words he said very very well. commented that, he should have only started watching soccer...
Drogba worked hard, and did great in both legs. In the end, It's team effort and drive of Steven Gerrard together with the Manager's tactics that see Reds thru to another European Final.
This morning, KaKa, as expected, showed the world why he is the best. Ronaldo is just an infant(and serial diver) just standing there looking at the master strokes of THE Kaka. It's amazing why some are foolish enough to compare Kaka to Ronaldo even. If it's anyone close, I would say its Giggs.
Ferguson admit defeat. The better team won. Simple as that.
To be honest, I would prefer to see Man U in the final rather than AC Milan. Cos, AC Milan is a Championship team. They know how to win a Final, they know what it takes, they are worl class. This Man U team? They can only come back from a 2 goal down against teams like Everton. For exactly the same scenerio last night against AC(2 goals down), what happened? They were raped further by Kaka and company.
Now, AC Milan Vs Liverpool. Dejavu.
Identical Final in a space of 3 years.
AC Milan, 6 time Champs of Europe.
Liverpool, 5 time Champion of Europe.
Just like 2 years back, in Istanbul, I have only 10% confidence. For Liverpool to become the 6 time Europe Champions in Athens in 14 days time, this time, confidence is even lesser...5% maybe...
AC will do anything and everything to make sure they win this time...
Well, guess we can look forward to a very good time on 23 May in Athens. Either way, both teams are already Champions to make it to Athens.
All the wannabes in Blue and the pose Reds, enjoy your little domestic triumps over each other, tune in to your TV, sit back, suck your thumbs, and watch a real world class football match between 2 of the best teams ever in Europe.

Okie, okie, talking about world class teams: look at AC Milan, they climbed to 3rd of their league table after having points deducted and have got the ability to challenge on both fronts.
On the other end, when was this 'Reds' considered a world class side when they can't perform on a consistent basis? I would definitely agree the Reds of the past is a world class side but definitely not in this era.
They are just attuned by Benitez to win the easier of the tournaments - cup: vs selected opponents and league: vs every team. It is a shortcut to success for him because people have selective memory. That's smart of him. Of course, not forgetting a master stroke of luck playing a part in winning cup competitions.
OOokkkk...Liverpool winning "the easier of the tournament"... So Great teams like Man U cannot win easy Tournament but only difficult ones..? Hmmm...
Consistency is definitely ZERO for Liverpool over the past many years. That is irking every single Liverpool supporters.
Luck?! Man United should never ever talk about luck. Lady luck have been taking extremely good care of Red Devils for the past decades, making all the other clubs really envious!
Hahahah!!
This argument will never end. Especially between the Liverpool and Man U fans/supporters/die hard.
