Liverpool has gone into the preperations for next season and the first man is now ready to be presented at Anfield Road. It´s the 25 year old Argentinian midfielder Leandro Daniel Somoza who has put pen to paper to a 3 year deal with the Reds, starting this summer.
Leandro joins Liverpool, from Velez Sarsfield and will likely cost the English club around 25 million kroner (aprox. £2.5 mill - maybe a little less). The arrival of Somoza may spell the end for the German veteran Dietmar Hamann, who albeit had just extended his contract with the club for a year further.
This extension however only happend due to an option in Hamann´s contract, which allowed him to extend the contract by a year, if he had played a certain amount of matches. The German used this option, but now it looks like he might be leaving Anfield afterall.

The Cameroon international scored a late goal to level the game before Barcelona grabbed a winner with just minutes remaining. The comeback was nothing like as dramatic as what happened in Istanbul a year earlier but Eto believes the Barca players all had the Reds on their minds as they refused to admit defeat.
"Whatever we did in the first half didn't work, but we fought, dominated the second half and never gave up," revealed Eto. "Having seen what Liverpool did last year when they were 3-0 down and apparently well beaten, we knew that you can't just accept you've lost until the final whistle goes. If you look at Liverpool's spirit, you know you have to fight to the end and, God permitting, you can win.
"You can't allow doubts to creep in in a final like this. When we came out after half-time, we heard our supporters and remembered the spirit of Liverpool's players a year ago. We kept trying and trying and, in the end, God wanted us to win. There aren't enough words to explain what we're experiencing. What we have done today will only sink in when we stop playing football. This is probably the most beautiful moment in my entire career."

I think the real difference is that Barca actually ARE the best team in Europe...rockykabir said:meh....
huge difference though, they were the Goliath in that final (especially against their ten men)...they just wasn't clinical. We were being thrashed by the best team in Europe then...and against all odds, we came back and won the game. Now that is magical

"I see" said the blind man....thanks for the proper reason, thats shocking stuffrockykabir said:I don't think you quite understand mate
The Sun are all immoral barstewards....don't pay attention to their paper let alone their "sport news" pages.
I already knew about that. Its common knowledge why you boycott the paper. But I only realised after posting it. But as beboquintero explained, the point of it was newspapers in general. The Sun just happened to be the one that was discussed in the other thread.rockykabir said:I don't think you quite understand mate

I use to buy it until I realised how much they try and distract the mind with senseless garbage about celebrities and constant sex stories that nonone gives a shit about. If i want my football news i just go skysporst.com. if i want my politics I read the 'The Guardian' or 'The independant'
