The Miracle of Istanbul: In the 2005 Champions League final, Liverpool FC faced off against AC Milan. After going down 3-0 in the first half, Liverpool staged a remarkable comeback, scoring three goals in the second half to force extra time and eventually winning the match on penalties.

Lionel Messi's "Goal of the Century": In a 2007 match between Barcelona and Getafe, a young Lionel Messi scored a stunning solo goal in which he dribbled past five defenders before slotting the ball into the net. The goal is widely considered one of the greatest ever scored.
