2005 CL Final player arrested on suspicion of match fixing

You'd get the same odds on things in a Champions' League final as you would a normal league game, wouldn't you? So why risk it in such a high profile match?

And, as mentioned, it's different with lower league players and multi millionaires.

Having said that, Italians.
 
I doubt anything will come of this and every person is innocent until proven guilty.

Just thought it was an interesting development.
 

I am sure if it came out Gattuso did in fact fix the final and you told a kopite about it, their reaction would be so what? we still won.

So a bit of a non story on that i think.

Although if it was proven and AC had won the final anyway then Brendan would be onto happy Als for a open top bus to tour the newly awarded trophy 8 years ago.
 
Juventus got stripped of their 2005 & 2006 Serie A league titles and were demoted.

I'd say Serie A games are high profile, so I'm not sure why you find it hard to believe something like this would be possible.

The league games that were deemed to be bent, resulted in them having their titles removed.

A world away from losing the personal glory of winning a CL final in exchange for a few shady quid.

I know we hate them, but please mate, this is straw clutching.
 

The logical option would be that somebody involved with Liverpool offered to pay him a few million, knowing that the pay off to the club for winning the match would be enormous.

Still don't believe it.
 
Liverpool won fair and square (Gerard dived for the pen but we'll overlook that for the purpose of this). Everyone deal with it.
