#1 One night in Istanbul

Creating History in Istanbul!

Something that every Liverpool fan has certainly obsessed about and the kind of performance every football fan fantasises their team would turn in someday! It was nothing short of a miracle, what happened that night in Istanbul. It showed the power of hope, the power of belief and above all, what one man’s influence can do to a team.

The players walked off at half-time with Liverpool trailing 3-0 to AC Milan in the Champions League final. The Reds were expected to just throw in the towel in the second half, instead, what transpired right after the break is perhaps the maddest eight minutes ever witnessed in a football match.

It all started when Gerrard rose highest to head in a John Arne Riise cross. Vladimir Smicer followed it up with a superb strike and then a penalty from Xabi Alonso. In the blink of an eye, Liverpool was level!

With Jerzy Dudek then suddenly transforming into an impenetrable human wall, the match went into penalties.

The rest, as they say, is history. Quite simply, the greatest night for Steven Gerrard and his boyhood love, Liverpool Football Club.
