Ode to the Final

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The biggest club game has been played
And one team left with a win
The magnificent story of Liverpool
I shall now begin
The game was set to be played
On a warm early summer’s day
Incredible players walked on the field
With their skills to put on display
The first half was all Milan
And they walked off the pitch 3-0
However the stage was set for a comeback
With Jerzy Dudek the hero
A cross for Gerrard was headed home
Then Smicer added for the Reds
Finally a put-back by Alonso
Left Milan fans with hands on heads
In extra time a goal was needed
And Sheva came closest of all
A simple poke into an open goal
But Dudek punched away the ball
Sheva again needed to score a goal
For the Reds 3-2 were up (in penalties)
But Dudek again saved his shot
And Liverpool raised the Champions Cup
