In fact, the football gods were on Milan's side all night long, and their names were Cafu, Maldini, Nesta and Stam. Nothing that is said can take away from Liverpool's achievement. Sure, they played Catenaccio, but in all honesty, i dont see anything wrong with it. In the second half, Liverpool got the three goals, and played within their limitations from thereon. They were intelligent enough to realise the mistakes they made in the first half, and were well aware of how vulnerable they were on the counter.
