The Greatest Comeback Wins in Sports
The comeback may be the most thrilling event in sports. One team or player is left for dead, done, kaput, down too many points or games to come back. But against all odds, fortunes are reversed. To make our list, the greatest comebacks had to satisfy two criteria. First, the deficit overcome--whether in a game or a playoff series--had to be one of the biggest in that particular sport. Second, the comeback had to take place in a game or series of serious import.
2005 Liverpool FC (Soccer)
In Istanbul, Liverpool faced AC Milan in the Champions League finale. Milan was favored, and lived up to that billing almost immediately when Paolo Maldini scored in the first minute. Hernan Crespo scored two more goals, and Milan led 3-0 at the half. But Liverpool stormed back. In a span of six minutes in the second half, the English team scored three goals to even the match, then won on penalty kicks. The game is known as "the miracle of Istanbul."
