Beware, Liverpool is coming!

I can not help but feel excited. This year sees Liverpool looking like they have a good chance to repeat the success of 2005 in the Champions League. I had just arrived in VN and had realised that Liverpool were in a good chance, yet by the end I was surprised they made the final. I was really worried as AC Milan are a good team better than Liverpool I thought.

However I stayed up to watch the game, nervous about the outcome. Well by half-time I was gutted. ACM 3 - LFC 0. What was I going to do. As a true supporter I said I would watch the second half and I was not dissappointed. Three goals in about 20 minutes and my enthusiasm and excitement had reached fever pitch levels. The equaliser I remember I was just about to shout for joy when I realised that it was 3am in the morning and the guesthouse was full. By the end of the game I was jumping up and down as LFC won by penalties to hold the trophy high.

I only bring this up as I have noticed that media has mentioned there outstanding performance against PSV this week. Benetiz also thinks the club is better than 2005 and has hit form at the right time. It is likely that LFC will reach the semis for the 2nd time out of 3 years. And now the odds of being champions agrain are 11/4. Let's hope that Athens will be as friendly as Istanbul.
