“The greatest comebacks in Champions League history”

Bayern Munich has to make up a deficit of three goals in the second leg of the Champions League against Manchester City on Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN). Impossible? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! Three clubs have achieved such a football miracle in the history of the premier league, another even caught up four goals.

Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona (first leg 0-3)

Semifinals 2018/19

In the first few seconds, Jürgen Klopp sees “a couple of wolves who haven’t had anything to eat for eight weeks” in the Liverpool jerseys. His Reds tear Lionel Messi and Co. downright. The coronation: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner trick, which the ex-Wolfsburg Divock Origi used to make it 4-0. “It blows your mind,” Klopp enthuses about the “magical” night, “I hope I can still remember it in 50 years.”

AS Roma 3-0 FC Barcelona (first leg 1-4)

Quarterfinals 2017/18

The history of the Liverpool miracle. Already in Rome, the Barca magic feet Messi and Andres Iniesta are crushed by the sheer will of their opponent. “We won against the best team in the world,” says Kostas Manolas, scorer of the acclaimed 3-0 win, “we always believed in it.” Club legend Francesco Totti breaks up the cabin party, Italy’s Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, a self-confessed Juventus fan, tweets: “At least one evening: Forza Roma!”

FC Barcelona – Paris St. Germain 6: 1 (first leg 0: 4)

Round of 16 2016/17

In their heyday, Barca could also do miracles – and what miracles! Nobody else caught up four goals in the Champions League. Three minutes before the end of the game it is 3: 1 – then superstar Neymar scores twice and puts Sergi Roberto on the decisive goal (90 + 5). PSG sends UEFA a five-page letter of complaint with eight (!) alleged mistakes by referee Deniz Aytekin – and buys Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the summer for a total of over 400 million euros.

Sporting The Crown – AC Mailand 4:0 (Hinspiel 1:4)

Quarterfinals 2003/04

The mother of all Champions League comebacks. “This victory proves that miracles happen,” said Depor coach Javier Irureta. His colleague Carlo Ancelotti was stunned: “It’s inexplicable to me.” After all, Milan was the defending champion, and the team was peppered with world stars like Paolo Maldini, Cafu, Andrea Pirlo and Andrij Shevchenko. “The fall of the gods,” is the headline in the Gazzetta dello Sport. And Irureta spontaneously promises that he will make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela – on his knees.
