Also, remember this?
Alonso scored too and he played in the dmf role as to opposed Gerrard's cm/freerole roaming. Milan had Crespo, Shevchenko upfront with Kaka, Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo midfield. Having Alonso helped to deal with Milan attack in a major way.Gerrard did more in that final imo
The goal and he won the penalty

Also Mascherano didnt play in 2005 final. Joined Pool for the 2006-07 season and played 11 games for them.
Was weird to see a proper Milan side choke that hard.Milan hit the breaks then shat the pitch at the start of the second half
Alonso was nowhere to be seen in the first half
Why he didnt start the game?All you cans are forgetting that Didi Hamann fixed the defensive hole of the first half. Unsung hero of that final.

Scholes was a beast, build like a rock, heavy tackler, great shooting, good range of passing. Fat frank was less complete and slower, but he was smart, with a great line-crossing first touch and most imoprtantly , he "had goal" a plenty - as we say in Spain.
But, Gerrard, in his prime, in certain matches, he looked like an adult playing with kids: he was everywhere doing everything everytime, tackling, passing shooting, heading... posibly the nearest thing to Di Stefano he had seen in modern times. Above all, i loved the special trait of his passing game. i dont have the means to really explain myself here but if one could say Fat frank and Scholes were more academic in their passing/understanding of the game - to the point you could almost anticipate their next move - Gerrard always had this peculiar - if i may say so - quintaessentially english flair in his choice of play.
Fuck Scholes
