Match summary

Match report^[33]

First half

Only 52 seconds into the match, Paolo Maldini scored for Milan as he volleyed the ball into Jerzy Dudek's net the bounce seemed to deceive Dudek^[34]. Liverpool's play in the first half both in attack and defence was below expectations. In the 29th minute, Milan had the ball in the net for the second time, only to have Andriy Shevchenko's effort ruled out for a tight offside. In the 39th minute, Alessandro Nesta's hand seemed to touch the ball in the penalty box but the referee denied the penalty appeals from the Liverpool players. Within a minute, a Milan counter-attack found Andriy Shevchenko in space on the right wing, and he crossed for Hernán Crespo to score with a first-time finish to make it 2–0 to Milan. Five minutes later, Gerrard was turned in midfield and a wonderful through-ball from Kaká found Crespo who provided the finish for Milan's third goal. At half-time the score was 3–0, and even the most optimistic Liverpool supporter probably thought the match was over given the apparently vast gulf in class between the two sets of players in the first half.

Second half

There was a half-time substitution of Dietmar Hamann for the injured Steve Finnan, while at the back they switched to a three-man defence. This change meant Steven Gerrard was given the freedom to attack from his midfield position. Dietmar Hamann (born August 27, 1973 in Waldsassen, Bavaria) is an ex-German international midfielder who currently plays for Manchester City. ... Stephen John Finnan (born 24 April 1976 in Limerick) is an Irish football player, who currently plays for Liverpool. ... Steven George Gerrard MBE (IPA: []) (born 30 May 1980, Whiston, Merseyside) is an English football player. ...

In the 54th minute, a succession of quick Liverpool passes eventually reached John Arne Riise, who had two chances to cross the ball but proceeded to eat it into the box. His second attempt found Gerrard who headed the ball into the far corner of the net. The goal gave Liverpool much-needed confidence and hope, and Gerrard was seen urging his team-mates to make a game of it. At this point the Liverpool supporters in the crowd began to get behind the team even more so than they already had. John Arne Semundseth Riise (born September 24, 1980 in Ã…lesund) is a Norwegian football player who currently plays for Liverpool F.C. Riise is renowned for the shooting power and accuracy of his favoured left foot, as well as his excellent physical conditioning, most notably his outstanding stamina levels. ...

Two minutes later Hamann slipped the ball to Vladimír Šmicer, who was 20 yards from goal and struck a shot with power and precision, which Baros did extremely well to avoid, past Dida. Milan's lead was now down to 3–2. The legality of this goal was disputed by Milan, as immediately prior to Hamann receiving the ball the linesman had been flagging for an earlier Liverpool offside. However, the referee decided against giving a free kick as Milan had - initially - come away with the ball. The sense of injustice felt by Milan supporters mirrored that of the Liverpool fans after the first half's second goal, as in both cases the goalscorers had benefited from an unawarded free kick.

Liverpool continued to press Milan. A clever back-heel pass from Milan Baroš found Steven Gerrard running through on goal where he fell under a crude challenge from Gennaro Gattuso in the penalty box. Liverpool were awarded a penalty which was taken by Xabi Alonso. He struck it hard towards the bottom left corner but Dida at full stretch was able to palm the ball away. However, the rebound allowed Alonso to hammer the ball into the roof of the net with his left foot and brought Liverpool level at 3–3.

At this point the game began to settle. Both teams had further chances to score and alternated in controlling the play. At the end of normal time there was nothing to separate the teams and the game went to 30 minutes of extra time.

Extra time

Milan were the better team in extra time and, as Liverpool's players became tired and visibly drained, Šmicer and Jamie Carragher had to receive treatment for cramp. In the 116th minute, Shevchenko had a goalbound header saved by Jerzy Dudek, and then volleyed the rebound only to see it saved at point-blank range by Dudek's outstretched hand. The score remained level and the two sides entered the penalty shootout. Both sides had won the last time they had been involved in a penalty shootout in the European Cup/Champions League final. For Milan, it was the 2002–2003 Champions League final against Juventus; for Liverpool, the 1983–1984 season when they beat AS Roma.

He had to score to give Milan a hope of victory but again, the shot was saved by Dudek. Liverpool won the shootout 3–2, which ended their 30-year wait for the European Cup.

Trophy

By winning the European Cup/Champions League a fifth time, Liverpool earned the privilege of permanently keeping the actual trophy. Under normal competition rules, the winning club gets to keep the trophy for only 10 months, as they must deliver it to UEFA two months before the next year's final, but they do receive a scaled-down replica to keep. However, in this case the rules specified that the trophy became the permanent possession of Liverpool because it was their fifth Champions League title. Five wins is one way to win the right to keep the trophy permanently, the other being three consecutive titles. The 2005-06 participants competed for a new (identical) trophy.
