Turn away, Reds fans! Harry Kewell says Liverpool should have LOST the 2005 Champions League final to AC Milan as Klopp's men prepare for title tilt against Real Madrid

Former Liverpool winger Harry Kewell has raised eyebrows after stating the Reds should have lost the famous 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan.

Speaking on Stan Sport, the retired Socceroos great, 43, felt the Italian giants were unlucky on that famous night in Istanbul when they were 3-0 up in the first half only to lose on penalties.

AC Milan exacted revenge in the 2007 decider, with Kewell coming off the bench in the 2-1 defeat in Greece.

'We were unlucky in that (second) game,' Kewell said ahead of Sunday's Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
