Liverpool enjoyed most of the possession. but they lacked the finishing touch. I think Crouch should have been brought on much earlier, even in place of Kuyt. Though he scored a goal, he was not at all effective. But full marks to Milan, they utilised whatever opportunities they got. I particularly noticed thet their offside traps were much more effective, which was not the case with Liverpool. In fact their failure in this cost them a goal. Kaka and Seedore were marked very tightly, but Philippo Inzaghi made up fot it. And Maldini remains an ageless wonder. So, AC MIlan had its revenge, and its 1-1 with respect to face-to-face meetings in finals. Who knows they might meet next time, and produce another thriler a la 2005.

Your absolutely right on the offside trap. But then the Italians have masters that art, in particlar Milan under the watchfull eyes of Arrigo Sacchi during the late 80's and the mid 90's. Cudos to the Italians.
