Liverpool looked dead and buried at half time, going into the interval at 3-0 down. However, the Reds found it within themselves to fight back to 3-3 before winning the EUROPEAN CUP on penalties. After the Reds' historic victory Rafael Benitez paid tribute to Liverpool's fantastic support who he said were responsible for the result.

"This is without doubt my biggest night in football," said a beaming Benitez. "At half-time we needed to do something and decided to make some changes. The early goal helped and with the backing of our wonderful supporters we went on from there.

"There is no way we could have went back out and lost by four or five goals in front of them. Once we started thinking and believing we could do it, anything was possible. In extra-time I was very proud of my players."
