Liverpool’s Turkish charm
Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005 in a match the team overcame a 0-3 deficit against Italian club, Milan, in Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium.
The victory has since been commemorated in films, documentaries and books.
The team and fans are hoping Turkish luck will revisit Liverpool in August for the Super Cup Final after reaching the Champions League final with an epic 4-3 comeback against football juggernaut Barcelona. Liverpool spotted Barca 3-0 on aggregate the week prior in a game officiated by Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir.
