Thankyou Milan/Fossa Dei Leoni/all rossineri

i am a liverpool fan who was at the game and was, needless to say, devastated that we lost.

However, the magnificent milan fans (before, during and after the game) made me proud to be a football fan of another proud club.

i was a little disappointed when the milan team didn't parade the trophy at our end but i understand why. (when seedorf ran across the pitch on his own with the cup he didn't realise he was getting a stading ovation from our end).

maldini/pirlo/seedorf and a few others did applaud our fans and more importantly it gave liverpool fans the opportunity to applaud the 7th win (and for me to applaud maldini, who is a God that walks among men).

real liverpool fans feel the way i do because everyone around me applauded wholeheartedly when milan collected the cup and were eager to acknowledge the victory.

moreover, real Liverpool fans have a historic bond with milan thanks to the amazing and emotional rendition of YNWA sung by Milan fans after the hillsborough tragedy in 1989, organised by the Fossa Dei Leoni. For this we will always be eternally grateful. But for the special teams and wonderful fans, we will always have respect.

FORZA MILAN!!! ynwa
