I don't think anyone has any idea how emotional the match was for me. As soon as I got off the LRT, I ran all the way back to my block, just so I wouldn't miss the remaining 20 minutes of the game. It was a nail-biting experience and completely heart-stopping for me. When 90 minutes were almost up, tears were streaming down my face. And then suddenly captain Steven Gerrard fired a blistering shot and I shouted GOOOAAAAAAAAAALLL! It was Steven Gerrard. It was truly a captain's moment, and surely, he is our one and only MerseyBoy. The next half an hour was excruciating and so was the shoot-out. Even though Hyypia missed, it was remarkably uplifting when the next 2 penalties taken by Gerrard and Riise were nothing but spot on.

But Gerrard's astonishing shot from 30 yards was the one that gave me a reason to keep on believing in the kop. And Reina, my my, truly a brilliant beyond brilliant goalkeeper despite the boo-boos he made earlier in the game. You want to know what really made the perfect ending to my day? You really want to know?

Stevie G being Man of The Match!

I've never been this happy in my life.

I thank God for creating Man with brains, legs and hands who in turn came up with this absolutely beautiful game, which has never ceased to make me smile or cry tears of inexplicable joy at the end of the day.

I'm so emotional these days.

Everytime I see pictures of The Reds lifting a trophy, I feel like crying.

Can someone out there understand and empathise this surge of ecstacy?

They are winners today and forever will be, in my heart.
