Miracle of Istanbul 

The most astonishing football match of all time. The UEFA Champions League Final on the 25th of May 2005, between AC Milan and Liverpool. With AC Milan obliterating Liverpool in the first half and leading 3-0, scouse heroes Carragher and Gerrard led a fightback that saw Liverpool draw level in six, crazy, second half minutes. The match went to extra time, in which Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek pulled of an incredible double save from star Milan striker Shevchenko to keep the Reds in the game. 3-3 after extra time and penalties beckoned, heroes to be crowned. Liverpool were 3-2 up with Andriy Shevchenko having to score to keep Milan in the game. Dudek saved and Liverpool were Champions of Europe for the fifth time, meaning they could keep the trophy.

P.S. Any Manchester United fans wishing to visit the actual Cup they won in Barcelona in 1999, please book a tour of the Liverpool FC Trophy Room at Anfield, its new home. ;)

Our Lady of Fatima, Jesus walking on water, Harry Potter selling well, but nothing can compare to the Miracle of Istanbul
