Will History Repeat Itself?
It's a trip down Memory Lane. What were you doing Wednesday April 22, 1981? Liverpool were heading to Munich after a 0-0 first leg at Anfield. They went through on the away goals rule after a 1-1 draw in Munich. Ray Kennedy scored the vital goal. Will history repeat itself? Liverpool head to Munich with a 0-0 draw in the first leg at Anfield in this Round of Sixteen clash. The other CL match today is Barca Vs Lyon . There are some Championship matches as well. Join me if you can
