Rafa must be as a happy as a pig in the proverbial you know what when the Champions League kicks back into gear. <br/></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The tabloids and the broadsheets both praise Liverpool's hard fought 2-0 victory over city slickers Inter Milan last night. The result was a gift from the gods for the under pressure Benitez.<br/> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The Reds were solid in a tight game. Inter's panto villain and part-time defender Marco Materazzi was sent-off after half an hour. No stranger to controversy, Materazzi was on the receiving end of Zidane's Glasgow kiss in the 2006 World Cup final.<br/> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Cordoba was stretchered off for Inter in the second half after committing hari kari Dida style, setting the game up for a sensational finish. Kuyt and Stevie G hit the back of the onion bag to crown another famous European night for the Kop faithful. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Elsewhere the FC Chelski boys and Olympiakos ground out a result like a couple of honeymooners dirty dancing to DJ Reggaeton. Not really, it was a boring <a href="http://www.footytube.com/2008/02/20/olympiacos-0-0-chelsea/">0-0</a> draw.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Girlfriends and wives across the nation will be watching Corrie in the upstairs bedroom again as the footballing fun continues tonight! The Gunners host AC Milan and Utd are away to Lyon.</p> <style type="text/css"><![CDATA[undefined]]></style> <pre><br/></pre> <!-- </EdIndex> --> <div class="article-tag"> Tags: <a href="/archive/tag/football" title="football">football</a>   <a href="/archive/tag/Liverpool" title="Liverpool">Liverpool</a>   <a href="/archive/tag/Champions-League" title="Champions League">Champions League</a>   <a href="/archive/tag/Chelsea" title="Chelsea">Chelsea</a>   <a href="/archive/tag/Inter-Milan" title="Inter Milan">Inter Milan</a>   <a href="/archive/tag/Arsenal" title="Arsenal">Arsenal</a>   <a href="/archive/tag/Man-Utd" title="Man Utd">Man Utd</a>   </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> <script type="text/javascript"> var _reload = false; </script> </div> <script type="text/javascript">innerTXTbuild();</script><div class="share-container"> <span> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="share-label" title="Share this"> Share this </a> </span> <div id="demo" style="display:block"> <a class="twitter" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=http%3A%2F%2Fsportscene.excite.co.uk%2Fnews%2F1510%2FKop-that&title=SportScene+-+Excite+UK" title="Twitter" target="_blank"></a> <a class="friendfeed" href="http://friendfeed.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsportscene.excite.co.uk%2Fnews%2F1510%2FKop-that&title=SportScene+-+Excite+UK" title="FriendFeed" target="_blank"></a> <a class="facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsportscene.excite.co.uk%2Fnews%2F1510%2FKop-that&title=SportScene+-+Excite+UK" title="Facebook" target="_blank"></a> <a class="delicious" href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsportscene.excite.co.uk%2Fnews%2F1510%2FKop-that&title=SportScene+-+Excite+UK" title="Del.icio.us!" target="_blank"></a> <a class="digg" href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsportscene.excite.co.uk%2Fnews%2F1510%2FKop-that&title=SportScene+-+Excite+UK" title="Digg" target="_blank"></a> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="share-close"> <img src="http://img.excite.co.uk/images/excite/common/elements/socialbookmarks/close-share.gif" align="absmiddle" /> </a> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#demo a.share-close').click(function() { $('#demo a').fadeOut('normal'); $('#demo').fadeOut('normal'); }); $('div.share-container a.share-label').click(function() { if ($('#demo a.share-close').css('display') == 'none') { $('#demo a').fadeIn('normal'); $('#demo').fadeIn('normal'); } else { $('#demo a').fadeOut('normal'); $('#demo').fadeOut('normal'); } }); </script><div class="adv_container"> <div id="TEXTLINK ADSENSE BOT"> <div style="text-align:left;font-family:verdana;font-size:14px; margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:10px;"> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function google_ad_request_done(google_ads) { /* * This function is required and is used to display * the ads that are returned from the JavaScript * request.
