AC Milan vs. Liverpool: Can you name the lineups from 2005 Champions League final?

Sports Mole challenges you to name the lineups from the 2005 Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool.

As the new-look Champions League commences on Tuesday, San Siro is the place to be for the pick of the opening batch of ties, as AC Milan and Liverpool lock horns in their opening league phase encounter.

While 15-time winners Real Madrid have been steaming ahead at the top of the European Cup charts over the past decade, the Reds and the Rossoneri are two of Los Blancos' closest challengers with a mammoth 13 top-level continental crowns between them.

Seven of those have been won by the Italian giants, most recently in the 2006-07 showpiece event with victory over none other than Liverpool, but Milan had come out on the wrong end of one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the sport just two years prior.

Rafael Benitez's Reds were seemingly down and out at 3-0 down in the 2005 showpiece, but the Merseyside titans astonishingly forced extra time before completing a magnificent turnaround from the penalty spot, where goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek wrote his name into Liverpool folklore.

But how many other players from that final can you name? Here, Sports Mole challengers readers to name the Milan and Liverpool lineups from the 2005 Champions League final.
