The UCL Final 2005

This undoubtedly was one of the great football matches of all times, you know the kind of match after watching u just sit back and say " thats why football is called the beautiful game".
The game had it all a goal from Maldini inside a minute, 3-0 halftime score in a match between Milan & Liverpool, Milan conceeding 3, Dudek making stops, Shevchenko missing from 6 inches in the last minute of extra time and a shootout.
Yes, penalties it was a shootout to crown the champions of europe. Liverpool played well OK it was exceptional for just 6 minutes and stole the cup from milan who were the better side for about 114 minutes or so, Milan wont complain as they won the cup in Manchester on penalties too but its unfortunate to see the final being decided by the lottery of penalties ManU suffered in FA cup and it was milan in CL and both the times the team who were second best lifted the cup. These matches do have a fairytale ending are exciting to watch but something down inside tell u that this was not a fair result championships cant be decided by either a cointoss or a shootout.
