Liverpool have stormed into the final 16 of the Champions League against all odds! 1-0 down at half-time, all hope seemed to have been lost, the Reds needing 2 clear goals to qualify.
The substitutes that came on at half-time, youngsters Pongolle and Mellor put Liverpool in the lead. But a 2-1 win would not be enough - the minutes ticked down and the tension was unbearable.
Then, with just four minutes remaining, skipper Gerrard struck the all-important goal to send the Reds through in sensational fashion. I've yet to witness the goal (since I was listening to the match on digital radio) but I bet it was a beauty, one to remember for a long time!
Omigod - I nearly cried at the end and only the boyfriend looking at me like I was some kind of alien stopped me from weeping! He just doesn't understand the beautiful game! ;)
Well done, Liverpool FC!
Who will they be drawn against next?
hurray! another Liverpool fan on Blog Explosion!!
