There are some remarkable comebacks in the recent edition of this Champions league, avoiding some crucial exits from the Dream land. But, the comebacks from a big deficit require great teamwork, piece of individual skills, mind games. Some of the memorable incidents are,
• DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA (Spain) defeated AC MILAN (Italy) by 5-4 on aggregate. Deportivo lost to AC Milan by 4-1 in the first leg and make a huge comeback by defeating them in their home fortress by 4-0[APRIL 2004]
• MANCHESTER UNITED (England) defeated BAYERN MUNICH (Germany) by 2-1. It was the finals of UEFA 1999 and the German giants took an early lead in the 6th minute and their defensive wall resisted every of the Devils attack until the last 3 minute, where the two substitutes scored for United. It was Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who turned the game in the last few minutes. [MAY 1999]
• LIVERPOOL (England) defeated AC MILAN (Italy) by 3-2 on penalties. It was the finals of Champions league 2005 and The Reds were trailing by 3-0 in the first half. Then, in the 2nd half, The Reds dominated and equalised and took the game away from Milan[MAY 2005]
