But it took all of Mourinho's brass neck and some very thick blue-tinted spectacles to sit and declare - without any sign of his tongue drilling a hole in his cheek - that the best team lost and that Chelsea were truly deserving of a place in the Athens final.
Nonsense. Every word of it.
If Mourinho truly believed Chelsea were the stronger team, the team pressing inexorably for victory, the team throwing men forward at set pieces to secure the goal that would have made a final place certain, he kids no-one but himself.
Well, everyone can bluff themselves. But no one can deny the facts - Liverpool had way more possession of the ball for most parts of the game and had more chances to score. They did score - twice!!!! And rattled the bar once. Enuf said.
Here're more pics taken from various UK news sites! :-) It was a brilliant nite - a classic European Night at Anfield. Great job to evryone - esp Kuyt who ran and ran and ran and ran (and deservedly scored the winning penalty), and Reina! What a nite! The way the Reds were so committed and the way the Anfield faithful kept on singing and singing and cheering (and booing!) was wonderful to behold!
