Repeat of 2005?

Woo-hoo!!! Liverpool get through to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!!!

They actually lost to Barca 0-1 at home, but because they did beat Barca 2-1 a couple of weeks ago, they end up on even terms 2-2. But Liverpool get through because of the away goals rule - in their match-up against each other, Liverpool scored 2 away goals (i.e. in Spain) while Barcelona scored only one.

Next up: PSV Eindhoven, who Liverpool trounced during the group stages earlier in the tournament, so there's a good chance that they make it through to the semis. Of course, you can never count out any team because anything can happen.

Anyway, they are a few more wins from possibly winning their 6th Champions League trophy, after capturing it 2 years ago. I am not going to count my chickens before they are hatched, especially since both Chelsea and Man Utd loom in the distance. But I will continue to keep my fingers crossed that they do well and snag the big prize...

Good luck Liverpool!!!
