You’ve got to give credit to Liverpool last year for annihilating Barcelona at Anfield and winning the tie 4-3. They were the better team in both legs 9 Likes |

raumdeuter:Agreed but I disagree on it being a freak result. Freak results don't happen in an European final. It was a tactical masterclass from Capello. Desailly was immense in that match. Another problem maybe fatigue,Milan won Seria A 20 days before the final and rested their players in the last league games. Barca won the La Liga title only three days before the final. 1 Like |

larride: Yep. Ultra defensive set up. 34 games, 23 clean sheets. Out of the 15 goals they conceded, Sampdoria scored 3 (L) and Udinese scored 2(D). They only lost 3 times. They were a very defensive team. You’d never expect them to beat Barcelona 4-0 in the UCL final. |

Kimbeast: A freak result can happen anytime. A freak result is anything that cannot be duplicated given the same circumstance. Was it not in a CL final that Liverpool with Dudek Finan Djimi Traore and Carragher, attack of Djibril Cisse, Baros equalized 3-0 to 3-3 within 6mins and beat an attack of Sheva, Kaka and Crespo? plus Maldini Stam, Pirlo Nesta Cafu Seedorf Look at Milan lineup in 2005 and Liverpool if the game ended 8-0 in favor of Milan, No one will argue.. Of the Milan lineup, almost 7 of them are talked about as the best in their positions over time, How many of those Liverpool players were considered best in their position even within the EPL that season? Germany smashed Brazil at home 7-1 in a world cup semi, yet the same Germany struggled vs Algeria. I dont think Germany were 7-1 better than Brazil and the game played the next day the result wont be same, Just like I dont think an attack of Shaqiri and Origi were 4-0 better than Messi-Suarez attack Just like Fulham beat Juventus 4-1 in a Europa semi 5 Likes |

The way all you people used to 'watch' these matches sef. In an era where it was just Channel 5, Channel 10, and Channel 7. TV stations didn't start broadcasting till 4pm on a weekday, and there was no internet. Viewing centres hadn't even been invented. Mehn you guys are the real MVPs. There was no need for them Mitchell Obi and Larry Izamoje then. |

afrodoc2:Milan dominated close to three decades in world football. Sacchi/Capello's Milan in the late '80s and early '90s - Ancelotti's Milan in the mid 2000s. People could make a case for Van gaal ajax or pep barca but in my opinion no team has dominated like Milan. It's a shame what Milan has turned to in recent years. |

raumdeuter:I can bet on Capello Milan to beat that Barca side again my friend. If you knew how dominate their defensive approach was you will know Barca could play for 10hrs straight and won't sniff a goal while Milan will pick them apart on the counter with ease but I agree with your point but I wouldn't call it a freak result. You are not giving them any respect. |

nihilistjnr: There was already cable in the early 90s. There was football made in Germany on TV There was Italian Serie A on TV LTV 8 with Nwana Iwajoku and later Ayo Agbesanwa had a Saturday sports program. That’s were I watched the 1988 FA Cup between Liverpool and Fashanu’s Wimbledon on delayed transmission. NTA 5 had Sports spectacular by Chuka Momoh where you might watch a Euro 84 or Euro 88 game on replay, or a grand slam tennis match (Chuka being a tennis guy), or a boxing bout between Hearns, Hagler Leonards etc. Then there were a few video clubs then where you could rent taped league matches from the main leagues in Europe. 8 Likes |

Kimbeast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_3VB1bLjgU Capello went into that game prepared to play pens at worst. Operation clean sheet no matter what. I dont think Barca had a shot on target. Milan were very hard to break down and they scored almost all of their goals via counters. For those people who don't understand why de lima and others suffered niggling injuries then, have a look at the tackles on display here. The tackles at 5:23, 6:40 and 8:33 in today's game na direct red card. In this game, na yellow. And you can see the ref at 7:26 telling the tackled player to stand up and "be a man". Barca committed more than 25 fouls, they got just 4 yellow cards. Tell m,e how all of them won't be sent off for the same tackles in 2019? 5 Likes |

Leyqute: Yup they weren’t. Italian Seria A on TV had a match that was shown (abridged) and then round up of all the other games. Same with Football Made in Germany. But there was the option of cable esp for French league, EPL, La liga. Then there were video clubs that had most of the top games on tape. It was not easy but for crazy fans like us we hunted football wherever it was. The relative lack of availability of foreign sports media and the lack of foreign opportunities for Nigerian players made our local league popular though. |
