The comeback and everything was believable, Liverpool is a great team and it is not incomprehensible for
a team to come back 0-3, what is really confusing to me is Andriy's last shot. A player of his caliber and his skills,
I don't konw why he will attempt such a weak DIRECT shot to the GK. I'm sorry I only recently started watching football,
maybe I don't understand the players as well as a lot of people, is
Shevachenko a weak PK taker or maybe he cracks under pressure a lot?

All the best players have missed penalties. In this case you cannot blame Andriy's miss. The entire Milan team team should be blamed for allowing Liverpool to come back from being three goals down.A team of Milans calibre should have buried Liverpool in the second half, Instead they became more like spectators than players.Shame on Them.BTW I am a Liverpool fan and it was a great game to watch.

Liverpool had just comeback from 3 down even the best players in the world would of missed that night ! And the fact that Dudeck had double saved from Shevachenko didn't help! Anyway a great night for Liverpool and English Football was had by all! Up the Liverpool

Not match fixing, but probably the pressure getting to him at the time. Without actually taking part the pressure on the player taking a PK at that point must be tremendous, knowing the fate of the match is on his shoulders, it's no wonder so many are missed. easy to criticise from watching.

Shooting, Freekick and Penalty Taking are totally 3 different concept. A worldclass striker does not have to be a freekick or penalty expert, or have to say, it is not easy to be all-in-one. Some defender oftenly appear in penalty shoot-out, and some are even freekick experts, eg. Roberto Carlos, Mihajilovic, and even Chilavert (keeper). People always thought penalty is easy to take, but actually not. Under that kind of situation, shooting accuracy, decisioning, calm, pressure handling, luck, etc, all are decisive matters. Even a great forward may not take penalty perfectly under big event, eg. Roberto Baggio.

Hes not a very good penalty taker i used to watch AC Milan loads and i dont think ive ever seen him score one. Pirlo takes them for AC though so that could be part of the reason.

Shevchenko is the all time champions league scorer.
Ahead of Raul and RVN

Reminds me of the Bowie/Queen song "under pressure"
