CSKA MOSCOW V LIVERPOOL

Friday 26 August 2005 19:45 

Liverpool are in Monaco chasing their second trophy of 2005 when they face UEFA Cup winners CSKA Moscow in the Super Cup Final.

Liverpool last won the Super Cup in 2001 when the Reds beat Bayern Munich 3-2 in Monaco.

Liverpool also won it in 1977 when they beat SV Hamburg with a certain Kevin Keegan in the Germans team 7-1 on aggregate.

Liverpool have also lost in two Super Cup Finals, 2-0 to Juventus in 1985 and 4-3 on aggregate to Anderlecht in 1978.

This will be Liverpool's third final of 2005 under Rafael Benitez after the Carling Cup Final and Champions League Final.

CSKA Moscow won the UEFA Cup last season beating Sporting Lisbon of Portugal 3-1. Ahead of the Liverpool game the Russian side have suffered a blow because star striker Ivica Olic is ruled out through injury.

will master tactician rafa triumph again?..........bring it on

I thought this cup was an absolute banker this time last week. But after lacklustre performances against Sunderland and Sofia, I'm not so sure.
I'm not being negative, I'm just being realistic. After the cup final in may, and plenty of good performances through the summer (with plenty of goals), the last two games have brought me back down to earth. They have also reminded me of how poor we were at times last season. (remember Crystal Palace)

I'm quite confident that we'll win it.

Benitez: Winning this one matters Aug 25 2005

By Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo


LIVERPOOL boss Rafa Benitez today defended his decision to rest the big guns in midweek and save them for tomorrow's Super Cup Final, insisting 'winning trophies will always be my first priority'.

The Reds endured an anxious night against Sofia in midweek as Benitez left Xabi Alonso and Jamie Carragher on the bench.

But the Anfield manager is adamant the decision will be vindicated if Liverpool win their third Super Cup against CSKA Moscow.

"This is a trophy I value. For a big club like Liverpool, every trophy should be valuable," said Benitez today.

"That is why we're in football. To win competitions. This is very important. Some people like to say one competition is more prestigious than another. That's true, but we are playing this final to win.

"I was happy to miss out on the opportunity to win the competition last season because I came to Liverpool after Valencia won the UEFA Cup. Now I'm even happier I have the chance to win it with Liverpool.

"I think one of the most important aims you can have is to earn the right to be in the Super Cup because it means you have enjoyed big success to get there.

"I know being in the top four of the Premiership is very important, but you will never see any club honours list recording an historic fourth place in the Premiership.

"History remembers champions and trophy winners. For us, this could be our second trophy in a short space of time and that's what you're remembered for."

Liverpool, who have Harry Kewell back in the squad tomorrow, are number one seeds in today's Champions League draw, ensuring they'll avoid most of the tournament favourites.

Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard is tipped to win UEFA's most valuable player award in the ceremony which follows the draw. Gerrard is unlikely to play tomorrow because of his injured calf.

* Michael Owen remains hopeful of securing his dream move back to Liverpool - despite Newcastle's record bid to try and lure him to St James' Park.

Despite the current frenzy of speculation, no decision on his future is thought to be imminent.



p.s harry kewell?   :D

yeah ITV 1 i remember hearing it was on. i have doubts about us winning this one after a few terrible performances of late and CSKA moscow are no TNS, they did win the UEFA cup, some people are taking this match as an easy win and i wouldnt be surprised if we were beaten. we are every capable of winning but we have to take it very seriously and play well for once, if we play like tuesday night we can kiss the super cup goodbye
