Liverpool
3-1 PSV Eindhoven
It's a day for milestones, big numbers, freezing Brazillian goalkeepers and new accounts. :)
It was Rafa Benitez's 250th game in charge of the club. Dirk Kuyt scored the 100th goal under the Spaniard's reign in the 4th minute before Robert Da.. ah fine, Robbie Keane finally scores his FIRST friggin' goal for the club. A beautiful cross from Torres which he managed to divert towards goal with his ankle. Took him quite a while to get it going but it's all good now.
The cherry on top of the icing? Steven Gerrard's
100th goal for the club. Beautifully taken free kick through the hole in the wall which Lucas made. Sweet. But in his usual fashion, the feller wasn't singing much praises for himself during the post-match interview. Drop the whole hands-behind-the-back pose already. You make us all feel so unprofessional.
Unfortunately, the team conceded a goal (to Carra's EXTREMELY obvious annoyance) and Atletico Madrid's still on top of the group by goal difference. No matter though, I like Atletico. And the man with the goalsaving ass has broken another milestone by breaking into the top 10 list of players with most appearances for the club. Go Carra!
PS: Lucas might wanna take a trip past somewhere over the rainbow (aka somewhere that is not Kansas apparently, says Judy Garland) to retrieve some courage from the Wizard of Oz. C'mon dude, you're almost there!
xxx, humbuggers
