In ancient Greece…

… can we win it six times? Yes, says captain, and so often the Reds inspiration, Steven Gerrard. “We do not want to leave Athens upset and with regrets that we have not brought the European Cup home. We want to make history, be heroes and come home as winners.”

So here it is. Crunch time. After beating three champions on the way to the final, Barcelona, PSV and Chelsea – by the way two of those were the tournament favourites – Liverpool face one of only two sides to have a better European record in terms of European cups than themselves, AC Milan. It would seem that Liverpool are the underdogs in this clash, with most pundits backing AC Milan to win a tight game relying on their ‘superior’ midfield. But hang on a minute, does a 3-0 thrashing of Man United prove that AC Milan are going to lord it over the Merseysiders? What about AC Milan against Celtic? One goal in 3 hours of football!

Steven Gerrard and the team have every right to hold their heads high when they walk out on the pitch tonight in Athens in the full knowledge they deserve to be there and they can win it! And if they don’t?
“You’ll never walk alone…”
