He also converted his penalty in the UEFA Champions League final against AC Milan, as Liverpool won a thrilling match in Istanbul in penalties.

Baros played in 108 matches for Liverpool and scored 27 goals. He also won 1 Champions League with them. He moved to Aston Villa in 2005, but succeeded in leaving behind a great legacy at Liverpool. He also remains one of the finest strikers ever born in Czech Republic.
