	AC Milan holds on to advance EINDHOVEN, Netherlands (AP) -- AC Milan reached its 10th European Cup final despite losing to PSV Eindhoven 3-1 Wednesday in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals. Massimo Ambrosini headed in the deciding goal in the first minute of injury time to give the six-time European champion a spot in the final on away goals after the two teams drew 3-3 on aggregate. Milan will face Liverpool in the final on May 25 in Istanbul, Turkey. Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 on Tuesday to win the two-leg series 1-0 on aggregate. Milan was trailing by two goals and looked to be heading to extra time when Kaka crossed from the goalkeeper's right to Ambrosini, who nodded the ball past PSV goalkeeper Gomes. "It was a terrible match," Ambrosini said. "They played better. ... We had problems throughout in pressing and in keeping the right defensive position."

LONDON (AP) -- AC Milan is chasing its seventh European Cup title. Liverpool is going for its fifth.

The Champions League final on May 25 brings together two of the most successful clubs in the 50th final of European soccer's most prestigious competition. Only nine-time champion Real Madrid has won it more times.

While recent performances suggest a Milan victory, Liverpool appears to be on the way back after having gone 20 years without winning the title. But both teams only just made it to the final.

Milan reached the final, which will be played at the new Ataturk Stadium, by overcoming PSV Eindhoven despite losing 3-1 on Wednesday in the second leg. The Italian co-leaders went through on away goals after winning the first leg 2-0.

Liverpool got to the final by beating newly crowned English champion Chelsea 1-0 at Anfield on Tuesday. Luis Garcia scored the only goal of the two-leg series.

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti aims to win the title twice as a player and twice as a coach. In 2003, Milan beat Serie A rival Juventus on penalties at Old Trafford in Manchester, England. Ancelotti also played for Milan when it won in 1989 and '90.

One his teammates then is still around. Milan captain Paolo Maldini is after his fifth triumph in the competition. He has also been on the losing side twice.

With Ukraine international Andriy Shevchenko and Brazil forward Kaka, Milan has one of the most exciting strikeforces in the game. But it also has arguably the most experienced back line.

Brazil star Cafu has played in the last three World Cup finals -- winning two -- and alongside are Maldini, who has been at Milan for 20 years, and two of the top central defenders, Alessandro Nesta and Jaap Stam.

The current stars of Liverpool's team are England midfielder Steven Gerrard and defender Jamie Carragher, 2004 European Championship top scorer Milan Baros of the Czech Republic and Spanish midfielders Luis Garcia and Xabi Alonso.

The squad has a cosmopolitan look with Polish goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek, Finnish defender Sami Hyypia, Norwegian midfielder John Arne Riise, French striker Djibril Cisse, German midfielder Dietmar Hamann, Croatian star Igor Biscan, Australia's Harry Kewell and another Czech forward, Vladimir Smicer.

Fernando Morientes, who got to last season's final with runner-up Monaco, can't play for Liverpool this time because already lined up for Real Madrid in the competition before moving to Anfield.

Despite a history of four European Cup titles, Liverpool hasn't been past the quarterfinals in the competition for 20 years.

After its rioting fans sparked a stampede that caused the deaths of 39 people at the 1985 European Cup final at Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, UEFA banned all English clubs from its competitions for five years and Liverpool had to serve an additional season. Since then it hasn't added to its 18 league titles and has made only three Champions League appearances.

Now it is back in the final after beating Juventus and Chelsea in successive rounds. And Liverpool's players saluted manager Rafa Benitez for getting the team there after just 11 months in charge.

Benitez guided Valencia to a UEFA Cup triumph last season before moving to Anfield and, despite poor form in the Premier League with 13 losses in 36 games, has given the storied club the chance of a fifth success in Europe's top club competition.

"Rafa is the best manager in the world, tactically he is unbelievable," Riise said. "So many times he judges things perfectly and the way he prepares and picks the team gives us a lot of confidence. I know the players want to play for him and he deserves a lot of credit for what he has done in his first season in England.

"We have every confidence that we can go to Istanbul to win the trophy, we have beaten some great teams and we can do it again."
