Instanbul still sore for Sheva

Shevchenko was denied in the final minutes of extra time by an amazing double save by Jerzy Dudek and then saw his penalty saved to hand Liverpool the European Cup in 2005. It's a memory that still pains the Chelsea striker.

"It was incredibly painful at the time, but I will play against Liverpool without thinking about what happened in that cursed final. Why does everyone talk about the past?" asked the former AC Milan striker.

"What happened in 2005 is gone - I cannot go back and score the penalty, I cannot stop Dudek from making that incredible save.

"It's going to be very difficult for us this time because Liverpool are strong, especially in the Champions League."
