The Italian side overcame the disappointment of losing the 2005 European Cup final to win the competition two years later. Steven Gerrard wants to do the same.

"I don't have to keep looking at what went wrong [in Athens], I know, and that makes me and everyone else more determined to put things right," said the Liverpool skipper.

"Athens can be a spur. It was a big blow for everyone involved but good players and big clubs bounce back -you only have to look at AC Milan. They lost to us in the final a couple of years ago but bounced back to win in Athens. Who's to say we can't do the same?"
