Football can be unpredictable, and a team can go from being down by a few goals to winning. This is what makes it so thrilling, and there have been many memorable comebacks in the past. We will take a look at some of the greatest comebacks in history, combining both talent and good fortune to create a remarkable turnaround.
One of the biggest comebacks in history occurred on May 25th 2005, when Liverpool wiped out Milan’s three goal lead at the end of the first half to win the Champions League final in Istanbul, a match that is often referred to as ‘The Miracle of Istanbul’. Liverpool scored a total of nine goals in the second half, including goals from Gerrard, Smicer and Alonso, to complete an unbelievable turnaround, which was only surpassed by Dynamo Dresden’s miraculous four-goal comeback against Real Madrid in 1976.

A legend of a quarterback who was always associated with the term ‘comeback’, Joe Montana engineered the largest comeback in NFL playoff history when his 49ers came back from a 35-7 deficit against New Orleans to win Super Bowl XXXVI. Montana scored on a 1-yard run and completed a 71-yard TD pass as San Francisco rallied from 28 points down in the third quarter to tie the game with 1:50 remaining before Ray Wersching kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime.
Another frankly incredible comeback happened in the 2010 African Cup of Nations, when Mali went from being 4 goals down against Angola to winning the match 1-0. All four of the host nation’s goals came in the final 11 minutes of the game, and was a stunning turnaround for the underdogs, demonstrating once again that a team is never truly out until the referee blows the final whistle.
