A film on what will go down in history as one of the most incredible football nights ever when Liverpool F.C. reclaimed their crown as kings of Europe on the 25th of May 2005 in Istanbul.

Milan were regarded as favourites before the match and took the lead in the first minute through captain Paolo Maldini. Hernán Crespo added two more goals before half-time to make it 3–0. During the second half, Steven Gerrard, Vladimír Šmicer and Xabi Alonso scored three goals in six minutes for Liverpool to level the scores at 3–3. The scores remained the same during extra time, and a penalty shootout was required to decide the champions. The score was 3–2 to Liverpool when Andriy Shevchenko's penalty was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek.

Thus Liverpool won their fifth European Cup.
