Incredible kambek and victory in the penalty shootout - we remember how Liverpool did not give Andrei Shevchenko the second time to win the Champions League with Milan.

12 years ago, on May 25, 2005, Liverpool in Istanbul defeated Milan in the Champions League final.

In that final, everything was in favor of Milan, who at the first time and he believed in his victory, but Rossoneri and Andrey Shevchenko did not take into account one small detail - the character of Liverpool.

The score in the match was already open at the 52nd second, when Maldini took advantage of Pirlo's free-kick. Until the end of the first half, the double of Hernan Crespo brought the advantage of the Devils to three goals, and for a break, Milan was already feeling in his hands the weight of the trophy. However, in the second half of the match everything turned upside down:

Gerrard, Schmitser and Xabi Alonso turned the advantage of Milan into nothingness.

Milan could snatch victory, not leading the matter to a penalty, but Dudek, who became a real hero of the match, somehow miraculously parried the impact of Shevchenko from a close distance. And in the penalty shootout the Polish goalkeeper of the Reds parried the blow from the Pirlo point, and at the decisive moment again did not let him replay himself Shevchenko.

Liverpool Sal was a five-time winner of the championship trophy!.
