Top 5: Stunning Champions League semi-final moments involving English Clubs

1. Garcia’s Ghost Goal (2005) 

Liverpool had defied the odds to reach the last-four with Rafa Benitez’s side only managing to advance from their group by beating Olympiacos in a Champions League classic.

They then defeated Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus before being drawn against the best team in England at that time – Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea.

Following a tense goalless draw at Stamford Bridge the stage was set at Anfield for a special European night.

Special soon turned into controversial as Luis Garcia opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a toe-poke that the ref deemed to have crossed the line.

Back in 2005 goal-line technology didn’t exist so the debate still goes on to this day whether or not the ball was in.

We’re glad it did otherwise we would never had witnessed Rafa’s team pulling off one of football’s greatest ever comebacks on an unforgettable final in Istanbul.
