PSV's forward line gave Milan a real scare and showed that the Italians are beatable. Striker Jan Vennegoor believes Liverpool should follow his side's example and take the game to Milan if they want to record a famous victory.
"My message to Liverpool is don't be afraid," he said. "When we played in Milan, we were a little in awe of them in the first half but once we realised we were giving their world-class players problems, we just played football.
"If Milan play like they did against us, Liverpool have a great chance but it's vital for them not to give away any space because Milan can score with one chance.
"They are masters at scoring goals at crucial times. Liverpool could defend for 89 minutes but one loss of concentration could hurt them. I think they should be brave and go for it. If they lose against such illustrious opposition, it's no shame.
"My advice would be to play down the flanks and push the full-backs on. What Liverpool must not do is play through the air because with Stam and Nesta, they'll get nowhere. If they play it on the ground, it's at least a 50-50 game."
