UEFA Champions League

Two goals from Filippo Inzaghi (left) gave AC Milan a 2-1 victory over Liverpool and won the Italians the European Cup for the seventh time on Wednesday and avenge their defeat on penalties by the English team in the final two years ago.

Liverpool, who looked down and out, pulled a goal back in the 89th minute with a Dirk Kuyt header but could not repeat their famous Istanbul fight-back when they recovered from 3-0 down at halftime to force a 3-3 draw and win the trophy.
