Seedorf's header set up Kaka for Milan's first goal in the 11th minute Wednesday. He made it 2-0 in the 30th, controlling a cross from the right with his chest and evading two defenders before shooting past United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Substitute Alberto Gilardino scored Milan's third goal in the 78th.

It wasn't that long ago that Seedorf was jeered by Milan supporters. Until his decisive goal against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals, he was the scapegoat for the team's below-par league form.

"If you win 3-0 against (United manager Alex) Ferguson's squad then you really can't say anything else," Seedorf said. "I'm happy for all of Milan's fans _ but also for all Italians."

The final against Liverpool is a rematch of the memorable 2005 game.

Two years ago, Milan led Liverpool 3-0 at halftime in Istanbul, Turkey, but the English team scored three times in the second half and eventually won 3-2 on penalties.

"This will be entirely different," Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "We won't have any pressure and I don't think Liverpool will have a psychological advantage after having won in 2005.

"They're a very well organized squad in defense, and they certainly won't allow us to attack with the space Manchester conceded."

Six players on Milan's roster were on Italy's team that won the World Cup in Germany last year: Andrea Pirlo, Alessandro Nesta, Massimo Oddo, Filippo Inzaghi, Gilardino and Gennaro Gattuso.
