but i have to say, while benitez got his tactics right in midfield to push kaka off the ball (and was assisted by some ghastly milan passing), he should have tried starting with a better striker. or two strikers. peter crouch has been better than kuyt in europe this season, start with him! or use them both.
also, zenden, wtf. kewell wasn’t much better, but he was at least better.
final score, adidas 2-1 adidas. i mean, milan 2-1 liverpool.
and at least there were goals, unlike the previous final, settled late on by larsson.
