Liverpool fans celebrate in Istanbul.

"I don't believe this," muttered a morose-looking Liverpool fan in the corner of the pub where we were watching the Champions League final. "Not even half-time, and we've lost already." He drained his glass of red wine and sloped out, presumably in search of something less depressing to do.
He had a point - Liverpool were 3-0 down to Milan, having been ripped apart by some lightning (and beautiful) counterattacking. Not only that, but they were also failing to make much headway against a mean defence and seemed worryingly bereft of ideas.
