#1 AC Milan 3-3 Liverpool (2-3 on penalties) - 2005

Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard holds
Liverpool won in 2005 in unbelievable circumstances

Arguably the greatest club game ever, Istanbul witnessed something amazing on 25th May 2015.

AC Milan started the game strongly and took the lead through Paolo Maldini. Hernan Crespo took on the scoring baton and scored a brace to put his side 3-0 up at the interval. It all looked done and duster for Liverpool but they had different ideas.

Steven Gerrard flicked home a header to give them life and Vladimir Smicer's rasping drive meant that the comeback was on.

Then Gerrard was fouled in the box and Xabi Alonso stepped up to level the tie. His penalty was saved but he slotted the rebound to complete an astonishing comeback and leave Milan stunned.

In extra time, Jersy Dudek pulled off an incredible double save to deny Andriy Shevchenko and a feeling of 'it is meant to be' began to kick in for Liverpool.

Rafa Benitez's side prevailed 3-2 on penalties to complete one of the most astonishing nights in European history.
