Who wants the fourth?? we want our fifth!!! - a Liverpool supporter in Istanbul 25 May 2005 referring to the Premiership position in 2004-2005 season (Everton was fourth and Liverpool was fifth yet winning the fifth Champions League)

If Liverpool win the game (CL Final Istanbul 2005) i'll never buy any newspaper for one month!! - Ryan Gigs.. and poor him as Liverpool did won the final..


football is like politics, one moment you think you have won the game but then you lost it - Silvio Berloscuni after saw his AC Milan lost on penalty shootout against Liverpool in CL Final Istanbul 2005

"As a manager you are important sometimes and you make mistakes, but the most important people are your staff and your players. Never call me the special one!" - Rafael Benitez.

"a deserved team to be in Champions League Final is a team who can overcome 3-0 deficit over AC Milan, not the team who couldn't" - a neutral spectator who watched 2nd leg Champions League semi final between AC Milan vs Man Utd in San Siro comparing AC Milan 3-0 win over Man Utd and a miracle in Istanbul 2005...

I dont know the best quote in football.. but this must be the most inspirational ever quote in modern football history...



"Don't let your heads drop.
All the players who go on
the pitch after half-time have
to keep their heads held high.
We are Liverpool. You are
playing for Liverpool.
Do not forget that.
You have to hold your
heads high for the supporters.
You have to do it for them.
You cannot call yourselves
Liverpool players if you have
your heads down.
If we create a few chances
we have the possibility of
getting back into this.
Believe you can do it and you will.
Give yourself the chance
to be heroes."

(Rafa Benitez - Half time.
Ataturk Stadium. Istanbul.
25th May 2005)
