Bransilav Ivanovic popped-up in the 105th-minute to gift Chelsea the win and sent them into the last-eight.
What made the win more spectacular however, was the fact they would go on to win the Champions League that year.
"THE Miracle of Istanbul" as it is now known, Liverpool came out victorious in the ultimate game of two halves.
The Reds fell-behind in the first-minute thanks to a Paolo Maldini strike, before Hernan Crespo led a Kaka-inspired Milan to a 3-0 lead at half-time.
After a rousing rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone and a tactical masterstroke from Rafa Benitez - hauling off Steve Finnan for Dietmar Hamann - Liverpool emerged a completely different animal.
Steven Gerrard scored with his head in the 54th minute before a long-range Vladimir Smicer striker two minutes later made it 3-2.
Xabi Alonso then missed a penalty before converting the rebound to incredible equalise, before an heroic double-save from Jerzy Dudek in extra-time took the game to penalties.
Channelling his inner-Bruce Grobelaar, Dudek was the hero as Liverpool won 3-2 on penalties to complete the most-famous Champions League final comeback ever.
GOING up against the then-holders of the Champions League, Deportivo La Coruna looked dead-in-the-water after losing the first-leg in Italy 4-1.
The Spaniards scored the first goal of the tie in the 11th minute at the San Siro, before the likes of Kaka, Andriy Shevchenko and Andrea Pirlo restored order.
However, Deportivo had wiped out their deficit in the first-half back in Spain - to lead on away goals.
The La Liga side added a fourth in the second half to convincingly beat the Serie A giants in remarkable circumstances.
MARIO BASLER scored in the sixth-minute of the famous clash at the Nou Camp... and that appeared to be the winner heading into stoppage-time.
That is, until Teddy Sheringham pounced on a Ryan Giggs mishit to equalise in the 91st-minute and seemingly send the game to extra-time.
However, from another corner, Sheringham nodded the ball into the path of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who directed the ball into the back of the net.
It was a remarkable turnaround, as moments early, Bayern fans had been letting off celebratory flares, while the trophy was being adorned in Munich colours.
Moments later, the Bundesliga giants' players could barely haul themselves off the floor, stunned by the nature of their defeat.
Seven and I Holdings, operator of the 7-Eleven chain, posted a 5 percent rise in quarterly profit, in line with estimates, and kept its forecast for a record full-year profit unchanged as its own-brand merchandise helped drive growth.
The company's Sogo and Seibu department stores were also resilient in the wake of a national sales tax hike that spurred heavy buying of luxury goods in the run-up to the increase, but triggered a subsequent slump that is expected to last until mid-summer.
The world's biggest convenience store operator said it was still going ahead with plans for a record expansion in the financial year to next February with the opening of 1,200 new stores in Japan despite a labor shortage that has started to squeeze Japan's construction and retail sectors.
Seven and I, one of Japan's most profitable retailers, reported March-May operating profit of 77.5 billion yen ($760.62 million), up 5.1 percent from the year-ago quarter and in line with the 76.75 billion yen average of three analysts' forecasts.
The company said the result, a record for a first quarter, beat its own forecasts but it remained to be seen whether the second quarter could match strong figures seen last year when searing temperatures boosted sales.
"As for the summer season, which is particularly important for convenience stores, we'll be taking a cautious view given that last summer was a scorcher," a Seven and I spokesman said.
The company kept its full-year operating profit forecast unchanged at a record 356 billion yen, for a 4.8 percent increase. The average of 19 analysts' forecasts projects an operating profit of 360.8 billion yen.
Own-brand products, especially premium goods and fresh-brewed coffee, helped to drive up sales at its 7-Eleven Japan convenience stores, which posted a 12 percent operating profit rise.
The quarter, which straddled the April 1 sales tax hike, also saw a 56 percent rise in operating profit at its department stores.
Takashimaya Co Ltd, Japan's third-largest department store operator, last week posted a 3.6 percent rise in first-quarter operating profit and left its full-year target unchanged, saying the rush of buying before the tax hike had exceeded its projections while the drop off afterwards was as expected.
In a formerly secret letter to the office of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, counsel for the U.S. president argued that he, President Trump, had the inherent power to, if need be, pardon himself.
We are in a madhouse.
The argument is a stunning one but it’s been coming since election day. Trump and his lawyers have essentially embraced the argument advanced by former-president Richard Nixon, who, in an interview with the late David Frost, argued when a president does it, it’s legal. Watergate cast that idea into the trash can of his...
In 1974, the Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Nixon, as in Richard Nixon, the president, that no one, not even the President of the United States, is above the law.
But King Donald I, heeds another law — the law of power, the law of privilege, the law of wealth. You think he or his lawyers give a fig about the Supreme Court? They serve King Donald and he serves himself.
Imagine the scene: “I, Donald Trump, hereby pardon Donald Trump.” Signed, Donald Trump. We are in a madhouse, one of America’s own making: The King Donald Trump Show.

Can We Talk About Something Else?
The Dems are obsessed with Russiagate at the expense of issues impacting people’s lives.
This is a condensed version of The Tennessean Editorial Board's endorsement on the governor's and Senate race.
This is not a traditional endorsement. Our readers want to be informed, not told how to think.
Opinion Editor David Plazas wrote this editorial on behalf of The Tennessean Editorial Board.
The Tennessean Editorial Board has published a 1,633-word analysis of the Tennessee governor and U.S. Senate candidates.
This is a condensed version of the original editorial.
Instead of a traditional endorsement, we believe we can provide a far better public service by assessing the candidates' strengths and weaknesses for readers.
The editorial board's goal is to help provide information and insight so that voters may select the candidates that best align with their values in a state with a diverse population.
While our readers want to be informed, they do not want to be told what to think.
However, we also crafted this editorial to assess how candidates reflect the positions we have taken over the years as a means of transparency and to honor our commitment to civil discourse through the Civility Tennessee campaign.
Who is on the editorial board?
Additionally, Knoxville News Sentinel Jack McElroy and Tennessean opinion Columnist Alex Hubbard participated in a few meetings. Editorial board members from The Leaf Chronicle in Clarksville and The Commercial Appeal in Memphis watched the interviews remotely, but they offered questions and insight.
This editorial, however, reflects the viewpoint of The Tennessean's editorial board, which reviewed the interviews, conversed about the approach and collaborated on the final product.
We acknowledged Blackburn's role in fighting against a state income tax and championing important topics including telecommunications and broadband, health regulations reform and fair compensation for songwriters.
At the same time, we criticized Blackburn for being dismissive and disrespectful of her opponent during debates and for engaging in divisive rhetoric that has inflamed a toxic political environment.
"The next senator should be above inflaming and polarizing the community. If she is victorious, Blackburn must rise above her divisive rhetoric," we wrote.
We noted Bredesen's accomplishments as a pragmatist who developed the vision for Nashville's boom and for his fiscal conservatism as governor.
However, we also reflected on Bredesen's "yeoman's effort" to distance himself from Democrats and assert his independence, which may have created an enthusiasm gap for him among partisans.
"If elected, Bredesen must work to build consensus and help citizens regain trust in government," we wrote.
We wrote that both Dean and Lee are "nice guys" who have kept it civil, however, "there are stark differences in experience, vision and policy positions."
We compared their positions on a variety of issues such as school vouchers (Dean's against, Lee's for), arming willing teachers to keep schools safe (Dean's against, Lee's for) and expanding Medicaid access (Dean's for, Lee's against).
Another point of difference: Dean served as a top elected executive during crises including the Great Recession and the 2010 Flood. Lee has no elected political experience, but he touts that as a positive because he said he is not beholden to anyone.
"Both candidates are men of character and conviction. Tennessee deserves a governor who, regardless of point of view and background, will respect the dignity of all Tennesseans and work to serve their interests," we wrote.
Opinion and Engagement Director David Plazas wrote this editorial on behalf of The Tennessean Editorial Board, which comprises Vice President and Editor Michael A.

The number of Canadian consumers and businesses going bust soared nearly 47 per cent in December as the domestic economy continued to show signs of further trouble ahead.
The Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy says 8,299 individuals and businesses went bankrupt in December, up from 5,659 for December 2007, a jump of 46.7 per cent.
“There’s no brakes on the train and it’s going downhill faster and faster,” said Douglas Hoyes, a bankruptcy trustee with Hoyes, Michalos & Associates.
However, the December total was down 4.3 per cent from the 8,669 who filed for bankruptcy in November.

The day before Thanksgiving, Prior Knowledge was gobbled up (gobble gobble) by Salesforce.
Prior Knowledge is the company behind Veritable, a predictive database that provides insight into the process of building applications. Referred to as “infer-structure,” the API examines the underlying infrastructure of an application to find causal relationships. It then tells developers what they might be missing. Us...
Since the product entered public beta in July and made it to the finals at TechCrunch Disrupt, there has been a lot of excitement surrounding the technology and its MIT PhD holding founders. Salesforce has been on an aggressive buying spree this year of mobile, social and cloud startups, and while P(k) does not fit int...
With this acquisition, Prior Knowledge will shut down the Veritable API and service on December 5. The details of the purchase have not been disclosed. Read the company’s blog post.

Founded in 2014, the Madison Area Chef’s Network is a large part of what makes Madison such a beautiful city for foodies.
At 50 chefs strong, MACN hosts Chef Week, where local chefs collaborate with their menus, cooking styles and restaurants each year in early March. Chef Week 2016 runs from Friday March 4 to Sunday March 13, and features over 30 events throughout the week at various restaurants around town. Though far from exhaustive, h...
Friday March 4, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Jump-starting the week of MACN collaboration, chefs Tory Miller and Jonny Hunter are cooking around town in a pop-up food truck with locations announced on Twitter and Instagram. Though little is known about the menu of the truck, this powerful duo will no doubt impress.
James Beard Award-winning chef Tory Miller’s expertise spans from the high-end cuisine at L’Etoile on the Square to some of Madison’s greatest melty cheese curds next door at Graze. But the menu for the food truck is hard to predict, considering Miller’s restaurant Sujeo is asian-fusion focused and his latest restauran...
Given his famous creative cooking, chef Jonny Hunter of Underground Food Collective and Forequarter is just as likely to throw curve balls into the menu of the food truck. Just this week, Hunter was the featured guest chef at Slow Food, University of Wisconsin’s weekly Monday night dinners. In challenge to his knack fo...
As an intern with Slow Food, I was able to cook alongside Hunter and witness his expertise. Most enlightening was Hunter’s preparation of the root vegetable celeriac. He baked it in a mass of salt and sourdough. It resembled craters stuck into the surface of the moon, but tasted like proof Hunter was born a culinary pr...
