The rematch is here: tonight Liverpool will take on AC Milan in the final of the UEFA Champions League. Two years ago (that long already) Liverpool shocked the world by coming back from 3-0 down to beat the heavily favoured Italians after a penalty shoot-out. Of course this time, Milan won't be so blase. They will be cautious and careful to hopefully not trip over themselves. The teams playing will be roughly the same, even though Milan has seen some turnover opposed to 2005 (no more Shevchenko, Crespo, Stam), and the Reds added Kuyt, and Crouch.
The Heart says: Liverpool wins, because you cannot hear You'll Never Walk Alone too many times.
The Head says: Milan wins; Liverpool simply hasn't been consistent enough this past season, which is why they had little to play for in the Premiership. Milan has been impressive against Man United, and I do see them attain the same level of play. Milan in Kaka and Seedorf have more elite players than Liverpool (Gerrard).
The Gut says: Milan wins; I'm going out on a limb here, but the Italians will be more careful this time around. Despite the true cupfighter mentality of the Reds, I don't see them upsetting Milan twice in the same decade.
I do hope for a penalty shootout though. In which case, I think Milan should not put all their eggs in Dida's basket...

And the record is now 6-1 (although with the Ducks leading 2-0 over Ottawa, it might fall to 6-2 quite soon already)
