Congatulations on a final well played

Hi there, I’ve registered here not to rub the victory in your faces; but rather congratulate your team on a game well played.

I’d like to say that we fully deserved to win; but I don’t think that’s possible. AC played a hell of a first half, showing why they are one of, if not the, best team in the world. Crespo, Kaka, Pirlo, and Shevchenko (to some extent!) were amazing in attack, and our team was practically in awe of them the first half. Your backline, however aging they are, proved a stong match to Liverpool’s pacy frontrunners. I was completely shattered at half-time, but somehow knew that one way or another, we’d be able to claw our way back into the game.

The penalties, as they probably were for you too, were a nerve racking experience. Somewhat of an unfair way to decide who will be the Champions of Europe.

You got some tough breaks in the game, and we got some lucky bounces. Perhaps some things were just meant to be. This final is dedicated to the 96 fans we lost at Hillsborough so many years ago; and Pope John Paul II. I look forward to some more great matchups between our teams in the near future, providing we’re allowed into the Champions League next year.
