User:Bobbob5482/Miracle Of Istanbul

The Miracle of Istanbul was a term coined in the aftermath of the 2005 Champions League Final between AC Milan and Liverpool FC at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. Liverpool were 3-0 down at half-time, but managed to turn it around, winning 3-2 on penalties, drawing the game 3-3 after extra time.

The term was originally coined by the Times newspaper, the following day, with a splash headline, with a massive picture of Xabi Alonso converting Liverpool's third goal after originally missing a penalty.
