A weird decade for Champions League finals. Some of the best starting 11's you would see at that level (Milan 03, Real Madrid 2002) then possibly the worst to play in a Champions League final in Liverpool '07.
Went to the RM v BL final at Hampden but chose 2005. Watched it at a pal’s who is a massive Liverpool fan (he’s from there) and genuinely felt for them at half time. I tried to lighten the mood by talking about Helicopter Sunday which was only a few days earlier and it certainly made me smile! But then the 2nd half started and it turned out alright. They said it was the most dramatic game ever, so I told the legend of Helicopter Sunday all over again!
Great videos and pics on thread, cheers for posting.
I have no allegiance to Liverpool but the 2005 game lives long in the memory. I've just finished Gerrard's second book and was surprised by how critical he was of Benitez, on occasions.
Hampden. In the Celtic end and Zidane scored that goal just in front of us. Wonderful.
Next year at Old Trafford must have been the worst final ever. Enjoyed being with the Italian supporters but they’ve a lot to learn about properly follow, following their team. Amateur supporters!
Most memorable is definitely 2005. Other games I remember bits and pieces from but 2005 I remember vividly. 19 years old, out with my pals, watching in the pub. Used to hate Liverpool but even I was cheering them on as they gathered more and more momentum.
