17. 2005 UCL Final: Heaven & Hell In Istanbul

Sooner or later it had to be covered. We heard our listeners, licked some salt from our wounds and decided to go all in on the 2004-2005 Uefa Champions League final! On the 25th of May in 2005, a star-studded Milan side headed to Istanbul to take on underdogs Liverpool. The stage was set for one of the most David vs Goliath final in decades. What we got was arguably the greatest final of all time. Before discussing the match in depth, though, we touch upon how competitive that season's Champions League was (3:20) and some highlights from the knockout stages (12:30). Then, it is on to the final (25:30), analyzed from every angle and emotion before rounding things up by discussing the overall legacy of the match and its participants (54:30).
