cruising..and cruising..

wow,such an amazing nite at bay arena. everyone really said that liverpool had little chance to get through but amazingly,they did! pundits around the globe expected liverpool to get theirselves behind the ball and defend to stop bayer to get a 2 goal deficit but liverpool attacked from the start till the end. yes, bayer was without a number of their main players, but that goes the same to liverpool - with injury woes all season long! so credit to rafa's men to play well home and away. u see, leverkusen is such a very strong side at home, beating real n roma 3-0 respectively.

gerrard strolled forward really well yesterday, supplying superb passes to the super rajin baros that once, his clear penalty appeal was denied by the french ref. but garcia was the hero at bay arena by flicking gerrard's cross beautifully in the 27th minute. biscan's header (resulted from gerrard's corner)was flicked again by garcia and butt was clearly outplayed with the goal. 2-0 and everything was bright for lfc and dark for leverkusen. in front of 21,000 of their home crowd, to score 5 goals in an hour was surely impossible. in the second half, baros got his goal to add the tally of 13 goals this season - lfc's top scorer. and for the final episode, bayer managed to get a consolation goal that was not celebrated - duh~.

so, liverpool managed to cruise to the final 8. sigh, everyone was telling liverpool won't make it even to the second round and magically their being one of the top eight european clubs this year. congrats to rafa and his men.. bring on any team, will make the kop proud! thanks shankly..
