Liverpool are a great Club.
Dont get me wrong. I still loathe them and I will make fun of their 'goatied' manager whatever chance I get. I sincerely believe that they have an inferior team currently to my beloved Chelsea Club.
But this does not take away the fact of their pedigree.
The most successful English club winning almost 20 titles and have won Europe's premier competition in one form or the other 5 times. The most memorable in recent history being the amazing comeback against AC Milan in 2005.
Which is why beating them FINALLY at the third time of asking enroute to the final of the most glamorous club competition in the world couldnt be more sweeter.
Final score was 3-2 and when the score was 3-1, the commentator exclaimed that Chelsea had brought Liverpool to their knees! but Ryan Babel cracked a 35 yard shot that slipped past our otherwise excellent goalkeeper. This was not an easy victory. We had to be resilient, powerful and mentally alrt against masters of European football.
And we prevailed.
This makes it three in a row. Chelsea have beaten Arsenal, Manchester United and now Liverpool. We are level on points with ManU and have another date with them in Moscow in May in the Champions League final.
And so on to our FIRST ever Champions League final. Getting there is an achievement in itself and I fully expect John terry to be lifting the trophy come May 23 in Moscow!
And I have mentioned here before what a Chelsea victory does to my day. Its 9.30am on Thursday morning in Auckland here. I have Champions League mornings you see and even though the rain is pouring down in typical Auckland fashion... its such a beautiful day!!! I am revved to go to work and attack my workload with gusto!
To Russia with Love!
