Liverpool Recovers From FA Cup Defeat In Style

Anfield served as the battleground for the clash of two great forces in Europe.

Liverpool, needing to come back from a poor FA Cup fifth round defeat, outclassed an Inter Milan side that seems to be more than capable of lifting this year's trophy. Fluid play and an on-form Babel helped Liverpool claim victory.

To me, Babel seems to be Liverpool's answer to Christiano Ronaldo. He does tend to hold the ball for far too long, but his pace and excellent dribbling skills are certainly something the Liverpool fans greatly appreciate.

Inter Milan were simply outdone by a confident and motivated Liverpool side. It was another great UEFA encounter, except for the fact that the referee seemed very easily persuaded by the Liverpool supporters, but then again, who wouldn't be.

I am looking foward to tonight's other English-Italian encounter between Arsenal and AC Milan. If poor FA Cup results mean an excellent result in Europe, then Arsenal should easily take the lead going into the return match at the San Siro. Let's just hope that the Emirates can provide the atmosphere that Anfield brings to football.
