Play by play

  1. 93'

    It wasn't the classic we had hoped for with neither side able to impose their quality on the game, but Milan won't mind, they've got the trophy and the party begins.

  2. 93'

    Milan have their revenge. The comeback was not to be this time and Milan, inspired by Filippo Inzaghi's double, are the European champions for the seventh time.

  3. 93'

    FULL-TIME: AC MILAN 2-1 LIVERPOOL

  4. 92'

    Gerrard finds himself with room 25 yards out and hits one into a crowd of players. That could be the last chance.

  5. 91'

    Seedorf is brought off in another delaying tactic. Favelli comes on for the final two minutes.

  6. 90'

    Liverpool chase and hurry Milan around the park forcing Milan to concede possession. Crouch fouls his marker and a few more seconds slip away.

  7. 89'

    There will be three added minutes to the 90. Can Liverpool grab another?

  8. 88'

    Well, well. What have we got here? DIRK KUYT heads Liverpool back into the game.

  9. 88'

    GOAL: AC MILAN 2-1 LIVERPOOL

  10. 87'

    The Milan fans are in raptures. They may be outnumbered but they're making themsleves heard in Athens.

  11. 84'

    Crouch crashes a fierce strike goalward forcing Dida to make a fingertip save. It was straight at him and straight-forward for the Brazilian.

  12. 83'

    Milan are now within touching distance of securing the sweetest of revenge. But let's not rule out Liverpool just yet.

  13. 82'

    If anyone's deserved a goal for Milan it's FILIPPO INZAGHI. Kaka thread a beautiful pass through to him and the Italian rounded Reina, kept his cool and slotted home Milan's second.

  14. 82'

    GOAL: AC MILAN 2-0 LIVERPOOL

  15. 79'

    Let-off for Liverpool as Inzaghi completely misjudges Ambosini's cross. It fell to his feet but he wasn't expecting it and the ball falls to safety.

  16. 78'

    The response from Ancelotti? A defensive switch with Kaladze on for Jankulovski.

  17. 77'

    Here comes the change. It's Mascherano who makes way and Crouch comes on to bolster the front line with him and Kuyt leading the attack.

  18. 75'

    Milan corner but don't let that fool you into thinking Milan can threaten. They send a meagre two men into the box and the vast amounts of red shirts mop up with ease.

  19. 74'

    But it's Liverpool who look to change things as Peter Crouch gets ready to make an entrance.

  20. 73'

    I'm no coach but Milan need to make a change to freshen things up. They're not throwing too many numbers forward and look turgid and far from sharp.

  21. 72'

    Milan waste a rare chance going forward. Kaka selfishly fails to pick out Inzaghi who had made a promising run down the left channel and Liverpool clear.

  22. 71'

    Milan seem content to let Liverpool come at them and and try their luck. Gerrard hits one from range and it whistles past Dida's right post.

  23. 69'

    Not a good tempo to the game I'm afraid. I must say that I'm hugely disappointed with Milan so far. They haven't done anywhere near enough to win the game despite their 1-0 lead.

  24. 67'

    Riise cracks one from the left edge of the box but drills his effort well wide of Dida's goal.

  25. 66'

    Milan are ragged and have a brittle edge about them tonight. It's up to Liverpool now to punish them and take advantage of such a below-par performance.
