Final reaction
Rafa Benitez refused to blame any refereeing decision for Liverpool's defeat in Athens.
The Reds went down 2-1 as they failed to relive the glories of 2005.
Referee Herbert Fandel appeared to blow his whistle at least 30 seconds early - but although annoyed, Benitez refused to use this as a major excuse.
"The rules talk about substitutions, yellow card, and players' injuries - but anyway that is not a reason we lost against a very good team with top-class players," Benitez told Sky Sports.
"And the difference sometimes is that you can work hard, but you cannot close the space or the pass, or the penetrative pass from Kaka, or a Seedorf or Inzaghi."
Benitez thought Filippo Inzaghi's somewhat fortuitous opener played a major part in Milan's success.
"The first half we did really well, we played really, really well and then we conceded a deflection at the end of the first half," he continued.
"Second half we were pushing, pushing, but then you leave space and then they have quality and it made the difference.
"We tried to keep the ball and press high, but you need to take your chances - we did have a lot and went close, but the quality they have if you lose the ball you will be in trouble.
"I think the team in the first half was really good."
