 Liverpool and Milan had each won their last European Cups after winning penalty shoot @-@ outs , and it was also the second time in three years that the final would be decided this way - previously , in the 2003 all @-@ Italian final at Old Trafford , Milan had defeated Juventus 3 @-@ 2 . Milan were first to take a penalty , but Serginho - who had taken Milan 's first penalty in 2003 and scored - shot over the crossbar after attempts from Jerzy Dudek to distract him , which mimicked Bruce Grobbelaar 's " spaghetti legs " antics during the shootout in the 1984 final against AS Roma . Dietmar Hamann took Liverpool 's first penalty and , despite having a broken toe , he scored to put Liverpool 1 – 0 up . Andrea Pirlo was next for Milan , and his penalty was saved by Dudek who dove to his right . Cisse then scored his penalty to put Liverpool 2 – 0 up . Tomasson scored Milan 's next penalty to make the score 2 – 1 in Liverpool 's favour . Riise was next for Liverpool , but his penalty was saved by Dida . Kaka then scored the subsequent penalty to level the scores at 2 – 2 . Vladimír Šmicer took the next Liverpool penalty , and he scored to give them a one @-@ goal advantage .
