| In this Champions League quarter final, Liverpool surprisingly beat a team who had only conceded 3 in the Champions League this season, Juventus. Juventus will still believe they're in with a chance having got the all important away goal but Liverpool are now in the driving seat for the return leg in Turin next week. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Liverpool's Players Ratings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Juventus` Players Ratings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Scott Carson-7- He did very well in the match but the mistake he made was very costly. Steve Finnan-6- A good game for Finnan. Providing solidarity and making good forward runs. Djimi Traore-6- Made one mistake but got away with it. Otherwise did well in the game. Jamie Carragher-7- Did great at Centreback and more performances like this will make Sven Goran Eriksson think about givin Carragher a start. Sami Hyypia-8- Hyppia was leading the defence throughout the game as well as scoring a sweet left volley. Luis Garcia-7- Scored a brilliant goal. Terrorised the defence throughout the game. John Arne Riise-6- Made good crosses and got back well. Steven Gerrard-7- His influence is what keeps the team going. Kept the team going for all the 90 minutes. Igor Biscan-6- The greatly improved Biscan has put in some good solid performances so far. This was another of them. Anthony Le Tallec-5- Not a good match for him. Missing a lot of chances. Milan Baros-7- Baros wouldn't stop making the Juventus defence working and trying to track his runs. |

| Gianluigi Buffon-6- Will be disappointed to have conceded two but nevertheless made good saves to keep Juventus in. Lilian Thuram-7- Shepherded the defence and didn`t allow attacks down the left get through. Gianluca Zambrotta-6- Attacked well down the left causing problems for Liverpool. Fabio Cannavaro-7- Didn`t put a foot wrong in the match and scored the goal that put Juventus back in this match. Jonathon Zebina-6- Good solid display from Zebina. Marco Camoranesi-7- Cut in well and made the link between midfield and attack work well. Pavel Nedved-7- His usual great self in a match where Juventus came back to give themselves a chance in the next leg. Manuele Blasi-6- Forced Liverpool into making long balls as he and Emerson proved what a partnership they make. Emerson-6- The partnership of Blasi and Emerson really allowed Nedved and Camoranesi to attack. Alessandro Del Piero-6- Very average game for him. Will be disappointed to miss a great 1 on 1 chance. Zlatan Ibrahimovic-7- Did well coming close to scoring as he hit the post. |
