WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Liverpool's 2005 Champion League-winning team

  • The 2005 UEFA Champions League Final is one of the best in the tournament's history.
  • Liverpool came from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan in Istanbul.

The 2005 UEFA Champions League Final is one of the best in the tournament's history.

It was a showdown between two of the most storied clubs in world soccer, Liverpool FC and AC Milan, in Istanbul. Milan looked set for a comfortable victory, going up 3-0 by halftime.

But Liverpool had an extraordinary six minutes of soccer in the second half in which it scored three goals to tie the match.

The score would remain level all the way through extra time, culminating in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, which also came down to the wire, with Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek saving a penalty from Andriy Shevchenko to secure for Liverpool a 3-2 win in the shoot-out.

Liverpool, which won the tournament again in 2019, is in Champions League action again on Tuesday when it takes on Rangers in the third of its six Group A matches.

Ahead of the tie, Insider looks at where the players from that iconic Istanbul night are now.
