This morning,i was warming myself to watch European Champion League Final between Ac Milan and Liverpool at Istanbul,Turkey.

Before the match start,Ac Milan was generally stronger than Liverpool in terms of players,club power and money.
Ac Milan is currently own by Italian Prime Minister.
Liverpool was still troubled despite of great history it had.
Liverpool had won so many championship and cups during 1970s-1980s.
Up to date,Liverpool have won 4 European cups and Ac Milan have won 6 European Cups.

At 2.45am,i turned on my television.
The match went underway.
Suddenly,Ac Milan got the lead through the courtesy of its skipper,Paolo Maldini in 1st min.
It looked like that the opening goal gotta affected Liverpool
Ac Milan played football with such graceful class and mesmerizing beauty.
Kaka went tango and nutmeged Gerrard and then wriggling with the ball on the way out againt few liverpool players who tried to close down the space.
Shevchenko had no hesistation to slam low shot to the right of the net and Dudek couldn't reached but was saved by offside.
Again,Kaka weighted the ball by chipping it with delicate touch to Shevchenko who in turn crossed the ball to Crespo.Crespo did a simple tap-in.
Dudek couldn't do anything.
2-0 up to Ac Milan.
Neat link-up play.
Ac Milan increased the score by 3-0.
It was stunner for all Liverpool fans.
A superb low cross from Kaka reached Crespo's feet as Carragher failed to clear the ball out with his attempted sliding tackle.Crespo,with no hesitation,made a class act by chipping over dudek's head.
What a first half.

Obviously,Bentiez's strategy backfired.
It was crazy to field misfit Kewell who eventually went out after playing for first 20 mintues.
Again,Ac Milan showed that it was not affected by his wingers attack and still,Benitez sent Smicer to replace Kewell.
Oh my god,he also field Traore who made a lot of mistakes in first half.

It seem game over.
Second half went on.Benitez removed Finnan and fielded Hamann.
Good move.Adding one more man in midfield centre area and it certainly stemmed Ac Milan.
A hopeful cross from Riise,It landed Gerrard who headed it for the first goal.
3-1
WHAT!Of course,Dida couldn't save that one.
Smicer,outside penalty box sent another hopeful long range hard shot.
Dida seem lazy to made an serious save as Baros threw himself not as to block his shot.
It went in!
WHAT!
3-2
Gerrard quickly ran with the ball into penalty box.gattuso,sensing that he gotta to equalise made a soft tussle with Gerrard.
Gerrard fell.
WHAT!That is dive especially the tussle was so lightweight in my opinion.
If i were to be in that situation,i ain't dive for penalty.
Referee had no doubt ponting to the spot.
Alonso converted the peanlty but he quickly put the ball into the net as Dida saved the penalty by diving to the left and blocked.
3-3!
Incredible.
What a comeback.
Beyond your imagination.

Making a lot of schoolboy mistakes in 90mins,Dudek was the hero making a double save against Shevchenko's header and then shot.
Dudek trying to pretend Bruce Grobbelaar by pretending to act as crab and showing off so-called wobbly knees.
It was successful as 3 Ac Milan players missed pennalty.
And now,Liverpool won Eutopean cup for 5th time.
Unbelieveable.

I won't want to approve this especially in 120mins liverpool don't seem to play for a win.They were merely hoping for miracle and luck.Their prayers were answered.
If only Liverpool showed the playing style it played against Juventus,i would have approved Liverpool winning its 5th European Cup.

Maradona,shocked with the match said that even the greatest team he ever seen,Brazil of 1970 couldn't have done that after losing 3-0 in first half.
I agreed with him that best team i ever seen is Brazil of 1970 as i personally saw it in video.
But i don't agree with him that this team couldn't do that.
It doesn't take the class to overturn.
all you need is to hope for better as long as this team continue to play good football.

It is one of the moments that you can't really forget.
But still,it is not that beautiful game.More likely emtional drama all over in 120 minutes.
I hope we get to see beautiful game in future.
Beautiful game is like when two teams entertained us with their class and beauty moves.
I don't really like the game that consist of one team playing nice football and the other playing shitty football.

I slept at 5.30am and woke up at 12.30pm
I am still fucking tired.
I played FM2005 online with Gabriel.
I really enjoy the most playing fm with Gabriel than others
Because we constantly talked cock with our intelligence.

Gabriel have to clean his room at 3pm.
And so i decided to watch Schindler's List dvd that i borrowed from Junqiu.
Fucking 4 hours movie.FABULOUS STORY!
Amcerian film production,1993
cover
I almost cried but i am used to this story.
Very touching in the end of the story.
I think Adeline will like it.
This movie reflect the saying 'It is better to save few lives than Pagoda'
There were 6million death in jew community but still,he managed to save 1,100 jew people.
It is impossible to save all 6million from death.
It is very good movie as if i am reading real-life storybook.
