Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits it would be 'magic' to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy for a second time.The Reds will face Milan in a repeat of the 2005 final in Athens later this month and Gerrard is relishing another European showpiece.
The midfielder was a key figure in his side's remarkable comeback two years ago when Liverpool came from 3-0 down to eventually prevail on penalties.
A shoot-out success over Chelsea on Tuesday night took Rafa Benitez's side into the final again and Gerrard feels such exploits are indicative of the team's spirit.
Though acknowledging Liverpool have failed to reach the same heights in the Premiership, the skipper is dreaming of more Champions League glory.
"It's superb to be there twice in three years," said Gerrard.
"We haven't done well domestically, but we are some side in Europe.
"We are everybody's nightmare because we never know when we are beaten and that is a great attitude to have.
"It doesn't matter whatever team we face.
"Lifting the cup crossed my mind as soon as we scored the last penalty against Chelsea. It would be magic to lift that trophy again."
