Or, shall I add in Pool's 2005 Istanbul final vs Milan?
I'd actually place Deportivo above this one. The Milan side they toppled was no joke.Why not the Deportivo one?
Meh, was pure flukeEasily Liverpool's comeback & it's not close. They had no business doing it.
ffsMeh, was pure fluke
They got battered for the entire match but spawned three goals in 6 minutes including the all important one via a textbook Stevie starfish dive. As soon as they scored the third they went back to getting bantered in the rest of normal/extra time and should have been beaten by several goals even after they pulled it back to 3-3.
The most spawny result in football and one of the most undeserved victories and yet listening to their mutant fanbase you'd think they had played like gods.
This. Cleaner and more unequivocal comeback.I'd actually place Deportivo above this one. The Milan side they toppled was no joke.
I'll give you that first point. My second point was agreeing with @Raees. It was a final that we had no right to win.The thing about the Bayern final was that it was a bit of payback for the group stage matches where we were better than them but did not win.
Just like oscar few years back, all are winners.In terms of difficulty to do it, Barca easily. Drama, then Uniteds. Overall greatest comeback taking into account team and the team they are playing, then Liverpool in 05.
I still disagree. United vs Bayern were two teams at the top of their A game. (going by who we'd beat). It was a toe to toe match and one had won. Then the other team scores two in two minutes. Wins the final.In terms of difficulty to do it, Barca easily. Drama, then Uniteds. Overall greatest comeback taking into account team and the team they are playing, then Liverpool in 05.
You do know you're just reinforcing the nickname of Bitters. :PMeh, was pure fluke

haha of course, I notice how you didn't dispute anything i said though :PYou do know you're just reinforcing the nickname of Bitters. :P
I may be in the minority, but I think Neymar's penalty was a dive also. The ball moved out for a goal kick and he moved inwards, so he effecively ran away from the trajectory of the ball to run into the player.No. of dives to win penalties:
Barca 2
Pool 1
Utd 0
United win
It has to be the finals. Other games are just... Remember that one game.You do know you're just reinforcing the nickname of Bitters. :P
Banter aside, it's definitely the finals - this is amazing but likely to be more of a very interesting note in history compared to the two finals.
