'It was a sign from God, not a coincidence': Kaka denies AC Milan's 'magical' Champions League victory over Liverpool 13 years ago today was 'revenge' for the Miracle of Istanbul in 2005

Kaka has recalled AC Milan's victory over Liverpool in the 2007 Champions League final as a 'sign from God'.

The Italians threw away a three-goal lead in the final between the two sides in 2005 as Rafa Benitez's men came back to clinch a dramatic victory on penalties.

A re-run of that final took place two years later, thirteen years ago today, but this time the Serie A team came out on top.

He said it was not a coincidence they played Liverpool after losing to them two years earlier

Dirk Kuyt set up a tense finish after Pippo Inzaghi had given Milan a 2-0 lead but Carlo Ancelotti's side held on and Kaka, who played both finals, said it was not a coincidence that their victory came over the Merseyside team.
