Sami Hyypia scores again but for the wrong side. As reported at ESPN Soccernet : In the city that saw Liverpool's greatest triumph of modern times, their involvement in this season's Champions League was all but ended. Liverpool were behind early on to a Serdar Ozkan effort which deflected in off central defender Sami Hyypia. And from then on the Anfield men toiled and laboured in an increasingly desperate attempt to avoid a humiliating defeat. Liverpool's obvious need to win this clash was underlined by the inclusion of two wingers - Ryan Babel and Jermaine Pennant - in Rafael Benitez's starting line-up. There were just two changes from the side that won at Everton on Saturday, Gerrard was back in the centre of midfield, with Mohamed Sissoko and Yossi Benayoun left out. Although in control 0f 64% possession, Liverpool can kiss goodbye to Champ League soccer. For sure, I will not loose my sleep over this Sunday match against Arsenal.
