1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The European kings \ for the kop it’s been to long
Fortyfive had passed \ everything went wrong

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Maldini cracked it in \ Crespo was exquisite
His second was world class \ the kop weren’t even with it

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 When the whistle blew \ we were 3–0 down
Milan were all but there \ one hand upon this crown

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 But then Riise crossed \ to Stevie on the head
The game was now 3–1 \ but all want done un said

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 For Smicer hit it low \ the ball flew in the goal
Kop heads had wilted \ but the fans won’t let them fall

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Then Stevie got a pen \ it was Javy from the spot
The kop was running riot \ Milan just lost the plot

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 To extra time we fought \ then Shevchenko on the nod
When Jerzy made that save \ that man became a god

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 We fought now to the spot \ then Jerzy stood so high
The greatest ever comeback \ with a tear in my eye

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Destiny was now set \ the kop were kings again
I’ll never forget that night \ or those eleven men.

Notes

I have been a liverpool fan since i was a 10 year old boy
and that was the best come-back i have ever seen from any
team well done to each and every player and anyone who
played any part in that game three cheers for the lads in red
