Milan vs Liverpool
The Uefa Champions League Final
1945 BST, Athens
This will be a replay of the Final of two years ago, which was played
in Istanbul, between these two teams. In that match, Milan was in
front at the break, 3-0, only to be caught by the Reds in space of just
six minutes. It went to overtime and then to penalties, where Liverpool
won. It was the most intriguing Final of recent history of football.
So, Liverpool have the chance to win it again after just 2 years. They
put out of the competitions great teams like Barcelona and Chelsea.
Coach Rafa Benitez will most probably choose for a 4-5-1 formation,
in order to contain Milan's attacking force.
Milan will play their third Final in just five years. Besides losing to
Liverpool in 2005, they won in 2003 against Juventus. Ancelotti was
coaching the Rossoneri in all these finals. I think Seedorf, but mostly
Kaka will be Milan's most important players. Kaka is this season
competition goalscorer with 10 goals. Captain Paolo Maldini will play
his 8th Champions League/ Champions Cup Final.
I am going for Milan to get the edge tonight, even if it goes to penalties
again. The odds are 4/5.
