Liverpool FC - The Road To Istanbul (DVD)

Being a big Liverpool fan I sat down to re-live the greatest comeback in footballing history once more, and was not disappointed by the contents of this 2 disc set. On Disc 1 is AC Milan v Liverpool, two giants of European of European footballing history. Before the match began, Liverpool were big underdogs. This was the way it was all the way throughout the competition. Unfortunately at half time these dreams seemed doomed as Liverpool were outclassed ...
...from your wildest dreams. With Liverpool 3-0 down and out, they somehow dug deeper than any team could possibly dig to first draw level (with 3 goals in 6 minutes) then take Milan to extra time. With penalties seconds away, Milan had a chance to win it, only for Jerzy Dudek to pull off one of the greatest double saves of all time to keep them in it. Dudek would again be the hero as his penalty saves won the European Cup for the fifth time for Liverpool; ...

Review of Liverpool FC - The Road To Istanbul (DVD)

...final of all time, Undoubtedly! Liverpool 2005 European Cup adventure brought a rollercoaster of emotions to all true Liverpool fans, and will always be remembered. From the moment the tournement started Liverpool were cast aside from the favourite to take the trophey, and it seemed as though it was correct when they didnt have the best group stages, but a spark was lit in Liverpools fire when playing Olympiakos needing to score 3 goals after going ...
...Gerrards typical wonder strike shot Liverpool into through. Liverpool went on to beat Beyer Leverkusen, the then mighty Juventus and english rivals Chelsea. Liverpool faced up against AC Milan in the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul.

Review of Liverpool FC - The Road To Istanbul (DVD)

...was). I have followed Liverpool since i was 6 and this game was without doubt one of the most exciting games of football i have ever watched. There are two discs to this DVD set with the first disc containing comprehensive footage and build up to the final against AC Milan in Istanbul. Liverpool FC were certainly the big underdogs to the game as they had a few close games before getting to the final(Chelsea fans will know what i'm on about). Anyway ...
...Liverpool being 3-0 down and i was fearing the worst of a big rout but i said to myself that if they got one goal back then they had a chance. The second half certainly was nerve racking and tense as Ac Milan had chances to begin with but then came the resurgence and 3-0 became 3-1, then 3-2 and then 3-3 all within the space of 6 minutes. This took the game into Extra Time in which no team scored so it was down to a penatly shootout to settle the ...
