 Liverpool fielded a 4 – 4 – 1 – 1 formation , with the surprise inclusion in the squad being Harry Kewell , who played just behind Milan Baroš , who himself had been picked ahead of Djibril Cissé . The inclusion of Kewell meant Dietmar Hamann was left on the substitutes ' bench and Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard started in the centre of midfield . Milan fielded a 4 – 4 – 2 diamond formation , with Hernán Crespo preferred to Jon Dahl Tomasson and Filippo Inzaghi , who was not included in the match day squad . Liverpool lined up in their red home kit , whilst Milan wore a changed strip of all white . Liverpool won the toss and kicked off .
