Diego Maradona is a keen Liverpool fan - and it’s because of the Miracle of Istanbul. Liverpool won their fifth European Cup back in 2005 after fighting back from 3-0 down at half-time to beat AC Milan on penalties after a 3-3 draw. The remarkable comeback will rank as one of the best memories for Reds supporters, and it caught the attention of Maradona too. He says the stunning result, and fervent support from Liverpool fans in Turkey, meant the Merseyside giants became ‘his club’ in England.
