YEAH! Liverpool are going to Athens!

Well, here's the story of their stunning win over Chelsea, I'll only tell the story of the penalty shootout. I'm watching(and pausing) it as I am posting here!

Liverpool strikes first.

Boudewijn Zenden steps up first for L'pool, kicks the ball, and goes to the back of the net!
1-0 for L'pool!

Arjen Robben goes first for Chelsea, kicks the ball, but Pepe Reina guessed it right, and saves the shot of Robben!
Still 1-0 for L'pool!

Xabi Alonso is next, kicks the ball, Petr Cech didn't save it, and Xabi scores!
2-0 for L'pool!

Frank Lampard is next to Xabi, he strikes, and this time Pepe didn't save it! Lampard scores Chelsea's first!
2-1, with L'pool still in the lead!

Steven Gerrard goes to the penalty area, strikes, and for the third time Cech didn't save it! Gerrard increases L'pool's lead!
3-1, L'pool's rolling!

Geremi is the 3rd Chelsea penalty taker, he goes for it, and Reina saves it! Geremi failed to decrease the gap!
3-1, L'pool is close in going to Athens!

The next penalty is critical for L'pool, if they hit it, they win and they go to Athens for the UEFA Champions League final showdown between the winner of the AC Milan/Man United match. If they miss, Chelsea still has a chance.

Dirk Kuyt is the decisive taker, he takes the penalty... AND HE SCORES! Kuyt has taken L'pool to Athens!

Final score: 1-1 aet., 4-1(PSO)

Man, that was some shootout!
