<h1>Every time there is a "reversal of the big inventory", AC Milan always has to be pulled out by the editors to "meet"! </h1>
In the 2005 Champions League final, AC Milan was far ahead of Liverpool 3-0, but was forced to equalize 3-3 by Liverpool in the second half, and finally lost to the penalty shootout.
This Champions League final is classic, there are accidents and there are inevitablies.
Maldini scored
AC Milan in 2005, from the lineup, strong and strong.
Defenders such as Maldini, Nesta, Stam and Cavo are well known.
The midfield stars of Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka and Seedorf are also both offensive and defensive.
Six months before the Champions League final, Milan striker Shevchenko had just won the Ballon d'Or and Crespo, on loan, was in good shape.
Liverpool squad
Liverpool side, manager Benitez has just arrived, the team's brother Irving transferred to Real Madrid before the season, Carragh Hypia and other people composed of the back line, in terms of fame, far less than AC Milan's stars, fortunately, Gerrard and Alonso's midfield combination technology is comprehensive.
Barosz and others in the front court, in Liverpool, also played as well as the national team.
Sure enough, AC Milan captain Maldini took the lead, and Argentine goalscorer Crespo scored twice, leading by 3 goals.
Crespo is alone in two dollars
There is a reason why AC Milan took the lead early, after all, AC Milan of Ancelotti has the upper hand in terms of overall strength.
There is a passage that says that after AC Milan took a 3-0 lead, the mentality expanded, and the champagne was celebrated in the locker room, and stars such as Pirlo, Maldini and Shevchenko also had infighting in the dressing room because of the mentality problem, which affected the mentality of the second half.
Let's not talk about the truth or falsity of the paragraph, from a technical and tactical point of view, the on-site command of Benitez in this game is indeed better than Ancelotti.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard scored with a header
Gerrard header
In the second half, Liverpool broke through with various forced shocks and sounds to penetrate AC Milan, and between the 54th and 60th minutes, Liverpool's Gerrard, Schmitchell and Alonso scored three goals in a row to blind AC Milan.
It's not because Liverpool kicks randomly, it's because Liverpool's way of playing is too targeted.
Defender Traore limited Milan's Ukrainian "nuclear warheads" Shevchenko, Smichel and Reese's ability to suppress, leaving AC Milan's Maldini and Cafu unable to interject assists.
Gerrard's wide range of runs, pinning Gattuso down the right, left AC Milan's midfield core Pirlo lacking the cover of sappers.
Gerald boosted morale
Shevchenko conceded a penalty
Gerrard's form, physical fitness, running ability and leadership temperament allowed Liverpool to fall behind in the score and not give up on themselves.
Especially after Gerrard's header broke the goal, even though Liverpool was still temporarily behind 1-3, Gerrard ran to the stands and called on the fans to continue to cheer, which was impressive.
In contrast, those few minutes of AC Milan were indeed confused.
In the penalty shootout, the mentality of the two sides is already different, and Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek is also a master of "psychological warfare", and finally helped Liverpool win the Champions League.
Alonso made up for it
Ancelotti's tactical level is very high, but there is a weakness is that the squad lacks rotation, accustomed to a set of people to cope with the entire season, to the end of the season, AC Milan stars have been physically exhausted, in the face of Liverpool's repeated impact, how to cope?
Even so, AC Milan did not start dispatching troops until the end of the game.
In fact, in the previous season, AC Milan was in the Champions League, which was also reversed by DePortivo DePortivo.
This also shows that AC Milan, the older of the stars, is difficult to cope with a two-front battle with a set of lineups.

Liverpool's Champions League title
Liverpool's reversal, there are accidents, but their goals are clear, the mental attributes, tactical changes and physical reserves are also better, and the final stage of the "Istanbul miracle" is also an accident.
Liverpool eventually won the Champions League, but two years later, Caka's AC Milan succeeded in avenging the "Battle of Athens", which is a later story.
