I knew it all along that magical moment only happened once in a blue moon; in fact, I was very sure that a repeat of that moment in 2 years time is near to imu abolishing the formal dress code.
Yes, I wished that the superb display of football in Istanbul 2 years back will be revived in Athens on 23/5/07. But I knew the match, as close it might be, wouldn’t be like that of 2005- whereby Liverpool caught up with the score of 3-0 in a span of a MERE 6 minutes. For those football fanatics, you all would have known that AC Milan and their fans thought that they had secured the uefa cup by half time, when the scoreboard showed 3-0.
I was so hoping that scene like this would emerge at the end of the match between Liverpool and AC Milan, though I know that Liv’s attack is not as strong as that of AC Milan.

I was told not to stay up at 2a.m. to watch the match as I have to ensure myself fit for the trip to china. So I satisfied my desire by watching 1 hour of the pre-match stuff *and basically more of steven gerrard* before I went to bed, only to dream that Liv lost 4-1 on penalty to AC Milan. *Talk about bad omen*
This morning, I woke up early at 8.30 a.m. to catch the replay. There would be suspense since nobody told me the score and the results aren’t in the papers yet, or so I thought. ARGH BUT MY DAD had to spoil it by telling me ‘they lost; opponent had 1 goal in the first half and another in the second half’ .
I went on to watch the match as I wanted not only the results, but also to see how they played. Liverpool really played better than I expected; usually they are quite conservative, but this time, they really did well in attack and had many chances, albeit missed ones. *Sob* Steven Gerrard was not in his usual top-form either. I guess life is like that, the winner goes to the side who knows how to grab hold of opportunities.

Hope Gerrard will reach another peak in his career in the coming season. With the new American bosses, I really wish that Liverpool will get some good attackers (They are really deprived of this) and also some (young) dynamic defenders. Hopefully, Liverpool will succeed in winning at least one silverware in the coming season.
*You will never walk alone!*
