After a week in Boston, I travelled to Istanbul, Turkey to attend the Champions League final between Liverpool and AC Milan. The game was a blast that Milan set off by scoring in the first minute. After the first half the Italian team were ahead by 3-0. As a Liverpool-fan, I saw no hopes of winning. We had paid a lot of money just to see our favorite team lose to a much better team in the final of the worlds most prestigious club championship. We were disappointed but we sang along when the hardcore Liverpool-fans sang the famous song "You'll never walk alone". It seemed that the song revived the hopes of Steven Gerrard and the other Liverpool-player. The six magical minutes in the second half will stick to my memory for years to come. The game ended 3-3 and Liverpool went ahead to win the penalty shootout. The afterparty was affected by bad logistics planning by the Turkish officials. The roads to and from the game moved very slowly and most of the fans didn't get in to town until 3 am!
