Many Liverpool fans thought that they were unlucky against Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final and should have won. Most of them blamed it on Riise but for me, it was Rafael Benitez error that cost Liverpool the Champions League final. These are 5 of them :

1. Accusing Drogba of diving - why on Earth did Benitez did that, nobody knows. Probably he wanted to get the referree attention, instead Rafa got Drogba fired up that when the Blues’ striker scored, he ran all the way to celebrate in front of Benitez.

2. Substitute Fernando Torres - Your in form striker who also scored the equaliser was took out, sounds strange, right. It was Benitez crucial error when he should have taken out Dirk Kyut instead. With Steven Gerrard having gone missing in action in a big match yet again, Liverpool needed all the help they could get.

3. Left Ryan Babel on the bench - Mind baffling, on why Benitez often left Babel on the bench when his pace would create havoc to defenders. He scored the second goal for Liverpool but should have started in the first place.

4. Left Crouch on the bench - Took out Benayoun and put in Pennant was a mystery as well. When they clearly need to score, Benitez should put in an extra striker and Crouch would create trouble with his headers.

5. Riise own goal in the first leg - oh..right, that’s not Benitez fault but i still blame him….hahaha
