Lucio has turned the tables again for Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Liverpool at the BayArena.

He struck five minutes after Jari Litnamen handed the Merseysiders a lifeline with a strike 12 minutes from time.

Bayer Leverkusen took the lead on aggregate at the BayArena after Michael Ballack scored his second for the Germans on 64 minutes and four minutes later Liverpool failed to clear a Ballack shot, and after a melee the ball found Berbatov in the area and the young Bulgarian struck from close range.
