All eyes will be on the quarterfinals' second legs when the Champions League returns. From their first-leg matches, Arsenal, Barcelona, Inter, and Paris Saint-Germain have the advantage, but they will all be wary of the fact that their ties are not over. We want to know how much you remember from some of the best comebacks over the years, as history teaches us that dramatic comebacks cannot be ruled out. When it comes to the UEFA Champions League, there is only one adage that holds true: it never ends until it is over! When Europe's best teams compete against each other, it serves as a constant reminder that no one can be dismissed despite the odds. As a result, with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Aston Villa all trailing after the first leg of their respective matches this year, they will all gain confidence from the knowledge that overcoming their respective deficits is not necessarily beyond them. On Tuesday, Villa takes on Paris Saint-Germain with the goal of reversing a 3-1 first-leg defeat. On the other hand, Dortmund will face the most difficult challenge when they welcome Barcelona to Germany, live on TNT Sports and discovery+, hoping to avenge a 4-0 defeat. Both matches will also be streamed live on Discovery+ and TNT Sports. Real Madrid takes on Arsenal at the Bernabeu, hoping that their star power will be sufficient to avenge their 3-0 defeat in London. Bayern travels to Inter with a 2-1 home leg deficit. Seeking inspiration ahead of these games, here are some of the very best second-leg comebacks in the competition’s history, and we want you to see how much you remember from these glorious and memorable turnarounds.
Anfield has witnessed some fine European nights, but few can rival this sensational effort. Barcelona had one foot in the final after Lionel Messi's first-leg double – his second strike a brilliant free-kick to bring up his 600th Barça goal. He was about to get the upper hand. Liverpool sent out a depleted line-up in the return, with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino missing, but Divock Origi's early goal gave them hope. After a Georginio Wijnaldum double, the Belgian completed a pulsating victory. Jordan Henderson, the captain, stated, "The belief in the changing room is incredible." "We knew we could pull something off."
Some people dispute the Miracle of Istanbul’s place at number one. There have been comebacks from larger deficits, comebacks with the game won before a penalty shoot-out.
But this game is the comeback against which all other comebacks are measured.
The Turkish city was first settled some 2600 years ago, and is now home to more than 15 million people – but say the word ‘Istanbul’ to any football fan, and the first things they’ll think of are Xabi Alonso bundling home on the rebound, and Jerzy Dudek’s wobbly legs in the 2005 Champions League final.
AC Milan’s team that day reads like a roll-call of mid-2000s legends, and Paolo Maldini’s first-minute goal looked to set the tone. Before the half, Hernan Crespo scored an exquisite double to win the game.
