The greatest Team

VS         

They had been through so much together over the past few months and years. They were well known throughout the land as the greatest soccer team, in england,  and every Saturday they had tested themselves against the best opposition across Britain. They had given blood, sweat and tears on the football pitch for each other, sticking together through thick and thin. Posing for their final photograph, the greatest team felt incredibly close; a band of brothers, bonded together through their shared passion, dedication and friendship.

Now that Britain was just finished at war, they knew things would be different. They would have to test themselves against tougher opposition. Now, they would need each other more than ever.

The Germans knew it would be a close game between Bayern Munich vs Liverpool F.C. It would undoubtedly be the showdown of the decade. Between the  two heavyweights of Europe. Head to head in the final of the European cup. The starting line ups were quite close with  Liverpool opting for a 4-4-2 the starting  XI. where : in goal they had Grobbelaar the four defenders were referring to position Kennedy,Hansen,Lawrenson,Neal the four midfielders Whelan,Souness,Johnston,Lee then the front two were kenny dalglish and Ian Rush. For Bayern Munich  they had Sepp Maier in goal the three backs were   Bixente lizarazu, Klaus Augenthaler, Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck in the midfield Franz Beckenbauer Lothar Matthäus,Stefan Effenberg,Uli Hoeneß and Paul Breitner and the two strikers two of the most clinical in europe the great Gerd Muller and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.Kick off time and the germans were playing possession in their own half which was pretty risky with Dalglish and Rush up front chasing The ball eventually a misplaced pass is played pretty poorly lizarazu he scuffed the ground then Ian Rush runs in and intercepts the ball and runs through he gets a one on one  with Sepp Maier. But instead he slips the ball to  Kenny Dalglish on his left who taps the ball into the open net 1-0 Liverpool. With seconds before halftime    

The game continues after half time  though just like nothing had happened with Bayern now playing beautiful exploiting attacking football and in stoppage time  they were rewarded for  there pushing Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was through on goal when  Grobbelaar charged out at him and grabbed his ankles Penalty and it's not over yet the everyone’s shoving each  other and grobbelaar gets a straight red protest from the liverpool players but it's no use whelan has to

come off and tommy Lawrence came on and straight into Goal Franz Beckenbauer Bayern Munich’s captain star player has the chance  to net the equaliser in the 90’1 minute he steadies himself  runs and slots it into the bottom right corner GOAL ! Bayern rewarded in the best way possible a GOAL ! Liverpool fans heartbroken they were seconds away from winning the UEFA Champions league 1-1 extra time bound and sure enough 45 seconds later the Ref ends the game.Extra time here we come.    

First half of  extra time begins and bayern start off  straight away lothar Matthaus sends a ball through for Gerd muller who attempts a diving header which smashes against the crossbar which stood shaking for about 5 seconds it fell perfectly for Karl-Heinz Rummenigge who hits it first time and smashes it over it stays 1-1 Bayern were really pushing for a winner but they couldn't put their chances away missed opportunity after missed opportunity it was an  amazing spell of play by Bayern then against the run of Bayern Munich's positive football Kenny  Dalglish intercepts a pass and goes on a winding run  with no support he beats one beats  another he turns like an eel the short  squat man and puts the ball into the goal Goal Kenny DAG - LISH  2-1 LIVERPOOL what an BANGER what an absolute SCREAMER ! Liverpool go ahead with minutes remain! Udo Lattek was furious yelling at the fourth official he thinks that Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck was fouled it was a fifty- fifty decision and the ref chose to play on and liverpool are only seconds away from the UEFA champions league winner's title the fourth official holds up his board three minutes remain and Bayern were getting frustrated and really peeved at themselves aggravated Klaus Augenthaler lashed out at Ian Rush free kick liverpool it was a stupid and was it a costly mistake and that's not all the referee runs up and gives him a yellow he did not protest every one watching the game was thinking “how wasn't that a red ?”!      

Whelan takes the free kick, and puts his foot through the ball it falls straight to Sepp Maier who boots it up the field and Bayern Munich have a last minute counter attack.It's a two on one surely they have

to score here Gerd Muller and Franz Beckenbauer Gerd Müller tramps it across to Franz Beckenbauer but Tommy Lawrence  comes up out of nowhere and pulls  an absolutely astonishing save. the Referee blows his whistle and liverpool win the champions league7 nope nevermind it was the whistle for a corner kick liverpool fans booing the referee for not ending the game they thought three stoppage minutes were well and truly up Beckenbauer  whips it in the box Tommy Lawrence  catches it and punts it up the field and the Referee blows his whistle  for the last time Liverpool are the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE once more ! bayern players heart broken drop to the floor in grief feeling sorry for themselves  and Liverpool  circle and chant CHAMPIONES CHAMPIONES OLAA OLAA OLAA then liverpool players are  running around the pitch celebrating  bayern munich go in a  collect their silver medals Liverpool congratulate them and wish them well and stuff   Daglish and Gerd Muller swap shirts and they wish each other best of luck in the future and then Liverpool go up and collect there winner's medals and then the moment liverpool fans had all been waiting for Kenny Dalglish Lifts the Coupe des clubs Champions Europeens and the stadium erupts with noise from Liverpool supporters The Coupe des clubs Champions Europeens is now in its right full city Liverpool.
