| - Liverpool's 2004-05 Champions League campaign had been a very eventful one. It began on 10 August 2004 with a two-leg qualifier against Austrian side Graz AK- Liverpool narrowly prevailing 2-1. Liverpool were drawn in a group with Olympiakos, Deportivo La Coruna and the previous season's beaten finalists, Monaco. Going into the last game of the group stage- at home to Olympiakos, Liverpool required a win by at least two goals to progress to the knockout stage. Liverpool fell a goal behind but came back to win 3-1, sealing their progress with an outstanding strike from captain Steven Gerrard. Liverpool made short work of Bayer Leverkusen in the Last 16, winning 6-2 on aggregate before being drawn against Juventus in the quarter finals. This was a landmark and emotionally-charged tie as it was the first meeting between the two sides since the Heysel Stadium disaster. Liverpool prevailed thanks to a 2-1 win at Anfield and a 0-0 draw in Turin. In the semi-finals, Liverpool were drawn against big-spending Chelsea in an all-English tie. The first leg at Stamford Bridge finished 0-0 and Liverpool narrowly edged the return tie at Anfield 1-0. This was a highly controversial victory as there was much debate as to whether Luis Garcia's winning goal had actually crossed the line or not. Regardless, Liverpool sealed their place in the final against Italian giants AC Milan. This was the sixth time Liverpool had reached the final of the European Cup, and the first since 1985, more widely remembered as the setting for the Heysel disaster which cost Liverpool participation in Europe for six years. Milan had narrowly lost out on their League title, whilst Liverpool had finished a disappointing fifth in the debut season of manager Rafael Benitez. Liverpool and Milan were allocated 20,000 tickets each for the match, however it is clear that many more Liverpool fans acquired tickets, and they vastly outnumbered their Italian counterparts.
