Sports Rendezvous with Liverpool Football Club
Who is your biggest cheer leader and fan in life, who supports you even at your lowest point?
In the 2005 Champions League Final Liverpool found themselves 3-0 at halftime in their biggest football match for over a decade against a vastly superior AC Milan side featuring Andrea Pirlo, Andriy Shevchenko, Paolo Maldini, Kaka, and Clarence Seedorf.
Perhaps proud of their team’s dramatic journey to the final or hopeful of the unlikeliest turnaround, Liverpool fans began a spine-tingling rendition of the club anthem, You’ll Never Walk Alone, during halftime. The club’s manager, Rafa Benitez, and club captain, Steven Gerrard, both helped channel this incredible show of support during rousing halftime speeches to inspire Liverpool to one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time.
Gerrard scored in the 58th minute, and his
celebration showed he believed in another outcome. This resonated throughout the team, and twelve dramatic minutes later, Liverpool was level at 3-3. A last-minute double save in extra-time from Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek took the game to penalties. He was once again the hero as Liverpool completed a remarkable comeback.
Liverpool former manager Jurgen Klopp during it champion's league campaign also described Liverpool fans as important, saying they played a key role after the club mounted a stunning 4-goal comeback to dump FC Barcelona out of the Champions League after losing the first leg 3-0, advancing to the final and winning the trophy.
