Hyypia has been excellent alongside Jamie Carragher in the Reds' victories over Juventus and Chelsea and now that Liverpool have reached the final the Finn has revealed he was wondering if he would ever manage to play in club football's biggest game.

"Everyone at the club talks about the great European Cup Final nights. I must admit I was beginning to wonder whether I'd ever be part of one," said Sami.
 
"I'm not a young man anymore and this may have been my last chance to qualify for the final. You don't know how many more years you have left to achieve that, so it feels wonderful to have finally made it.
 
"It was one of the best nights I've ever had and certainly my greatest at the club."
