Uh oh...
6) MILAN v Liverpool 2005 – Manuel Mejuto Gonzalez
Milan’s collapse in the 2005 Champions League final against Liverpool, having been 3-0 up at half time, is still hard to believe some five years on. But, would it have happened had referee Gonzalez not awarded Liverpool a penalty for a clear Steven Gerrard dive?
Having fought back to 3-2 through goals from Vladimir Smicer and Gerrard, the Englishman charged in the area and went down under pressure from Rino Gattuso. Replays showed that the Liverpool legend had conned Gonzalez. Xabi Alonso scored the rebound after his penalty was saved, and the Reds would go on to win the Champions League on penalties.
Thats bullshit, Gerrard didn't dive for that penalty, I've seen that game at least 10 times, it was a penalty.
There is no conspiracy with this ref against Italian sides.
