I think your looking at it a little biased Andy. Given our history of disliking the hype around the Epl, i think Im going to have to say Liverpool were the deserved winners on the night. They made it count when it mattered most. Sure Milan played some good football in the first half, but i think its only them to blame at the end of the day. When you have Stam, Maldini, Nesta and Cafu on your backline with 3 goals to the good. I dont care how bad the referee is on the night, you ought to preserve that lead, or you dont deserve to win. Speaking of penalties, as we all know, the dance and shake has been done before. And if Dudek could do it, nobody stopped Dida from doing so either. The fact is Liverpool wanted it more than Milan, and probably deserved it more as well, seeing thier overall performance in the Champions League this season.
