Season Info:

The Liverpool FC 2002-04 season was a mixed one for the club. The team was managed by Gerard Houllier, who had been in charge since 1998, and was looking to build on the success of the previous season, where they had finished second in the Premier League and won the League Cup.

The season began positively for Liverpool, as they won their first three Premier League games, but then went on a run of five games without a win, including defeats to Arsenal and Manchester United. They eventually finished the season in fourth place, 15 points behind champions Arsenal.

In the domestic cup competitions, Liverpool reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup, but were knocked out by Bolton Wanderers. In the FA Cup, they made it to the final, where they faced Arsenal. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Michael Owen scoring for Liverpool, but Arsenal won the replay 2-1 to deny Liverpool a trophy.

In Europe, Liverpool had a successful run in the UEFA Cup, where they reached the quarter-finals, but were knocked out by Marseille. They also competed in the Champions League, but failed to progress past the group stage, finishing third behind Valencia and Spartak Moscow.

Off the field, the club faced financial difficulties, with debts of over £80 million. This led to the sale of key players such as Nicolas Anelka and Michael Owen, who left the club in 2004.

Overall, the Liverpool FC 2002-04 season was a disappointing one for the club, as they failed to win any major trophies and struggled to compete with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League. However, they showed promise in the cup competitions and in Europe, and would go on to win the Champions League under new manager Rafael Benitez in 2005.

Season Info:

The 1996-97 season was a memorable one for AC Milan, as the team produced some outstanding performances and achieved success both domestically and in Europe.

Under the guidance of coach Fabio Capello, Milan fielded a formidable team that included the likes of Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta, Marcel Desailly, Roberto Baggio, George Weah, and Dejan Savicevic.

In Serie A, Milan finished the season in second place behind champions Juventus, but they still managed to secure an impressive 73 points from 34 matches. The team produced some memorable performances throughout the season, including a 6-0 victory over Cagliari and a 5-1 win against Piacenza.

However, it was in the Champions League where Milan truly shone that season. The team produced some outstanding performances, including a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals and a 4-0 victory over Spanish giants Barcelona in the final. The latter performance in particular is remembered as one of the greatest in the history of the competition, with Milan dominating their opponents in every aspect of the game.

Milan also reached the final of the Italian Cup that season, but they were defeated 1-0 by Vicenza in a closely contested match.

The 1996-97 season is remembered as one of the most successful in Milan's history, with the team producing some outstanding performances and achieving success both domestically and in Europe. The team's performances were built on a strong defence, which conceded just 30 goals in Serie A, and an attacking line-up that scored a total of 63 goals in the league. The team's success that season was a testament to their quality and teamwork, and it remains a cherished memory for Milan fans to this day.
