'Still an open would for me': Ex-Milan striker Crespo wants revenge for 2005 Champions League final

The 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul is one of the best moments in the history of Liverpool.

The Reds fought back from 3-0 down and defeated AC Milan on penalties.

"It’s still an open wound for me," former Milan striker Hernan Crespo told La Gazetta Dello Sport, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.

"Liverpool v Milan is the first game Champions League game this season, and you already know what it means to me.

"I had scored a brace in the first half, I have never forgotten that night.

"Even though Milan already beat Liverpool in the 2007 final, I’m asking Pioli’s men to beat them at Anfield, get the revenge for me and show who Milan are."

The Reds will welcome Milan to Anfield in their opening game of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday, September 15.
