Milan gained revenge for their 2005 Champions League final defeat at the hands of Liverpool as they lifted the trophy in Athens with a 2-1 victory.
Highlights
45' Kaka goes down easily on the edge of the penalty area and Alonso is penalised. A dangerous position, 24 yards out and central, and Andrea Pirlo's free-kick is deflected past Reina by Inzaghi and into the middle of the net. The striker knew nothing about it, a complete fluke but Milan have the lead against the run of play
82' Kaka threds a precise ball through to Inzaghi who tucks the ball under the advancing Reina to win the Champions League for Milan.
89' A glimmer for Liverpool as a corner is flicked on by Carragher and Kuyt nods home from close range. A hint of offside but it sets up an exciting conclusion.

Wonderful Opportunity for Gerrard
62' But Dida makes a crucial save. The Liverpool skipper picks up on a loose ball, drives past Nesta but is unable to open up his body enough to curl the ball into the far corner from the left channel and the big keeper gets down to preserve his side's lead.
Roulette Kaka'
22' Sublime piece of skill from Kaka.
