Liverpool FC update: Woohoo!

The Reds made it through the Champions League second round a few weeks ago for a quarterfinal matchup against German club Bayern Leverkusen, currently the top-ranked club in the world. Today LFC hosted the Germans and came out on top 1-0 on a goal by captain Sami Hyypia in the 44th minute. A major victory indeed, even with the goal coming from a surprise source, a defender who put in only his second ball in 26 European matches. Next Tuesday will see the return match in Germany and the Reds need only a tie to advance for what looks like a semi-final against rival Manchester United. The boys are doing well in the Premiership as well, sitting in second a point behind Arsenal with four matches to go (Arsenal has five left), and are in a good position to pull off a double given their recent mastery over ManU.
