was a good game but really showed the difference between English teams and Italian one.. also applies to the national team.. when Milan had the ball they passed it on the deck.. when Liverpool had it it was hoofed up field and kept coming back..

Never a pen in my view as there was barely any contact.. maybe even none and not enogh to push someone over..

still glad they won though and great to have an English team as champs of Europe..

if you go the uefa web site and go to publications you can see in the rules it is down to the league association to see who should qualify out of holders and leage positions.. that's been the rules all season so how can they change it now. when this happened in Spain a few years back the fourth place team had to go into the UEFA cup..

I blame UEFA as ALL the champ teams be it TNS, Gorica, MTK should go into the group stages automatically and then if they want second and third place teams they should qualify.. it's just invented as a cash cow to make sure the Spanish, Italian and English teams get more money and don't get knocked out by some Eastern European team in the first round

just to say it again well done liverpool
