The main photo above shows Xabi firing home the rebound after
Milan keeper Dida had saved his penalty kick. It completed an incredible
five minute spell which saw Liverpool come from 3-0 down to make the
score 3-3. The other pictures are at various stages during the game
including, bottom right, the Liverpool team looking on as Jerzy Dudek
faces the all important penalty from Andrei Shevchenko. Dudek, of
course, saved his kick sparking wild celebrations from the men in red.
Xabi is no. 14, nearest the camera.
