Fact at times is stranger than fiction. If, what had happened in the Champions League final of 2005 was scripted as a film, the critics would say that its something totally unbelievable.
This is my attempt at conveying the story through words and a picture.

The words are from the song, 'You'll never walk alone', which is the anthem of Liverpool Football Club. The lyrics of the song, and what happened on the 25th of May, 2005 almost freakishly convey the exact same thing.
Down 3 goals against probably the best team in Europe, Liverpool staged a roaring comeback.
Walk on, through the wind,
Walk on, through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
And they didn't just walk, they scored 3 goals in a blistering 6 minutes. They weren't 'alone', they had 60,000 Liverpool fans walking with them. 3-0 down at half-time, but did the fans just walk out of the stadium?
No way!
They sang this beautiful song with all that they had. The demoralised players heard this in the dressing room, and as many of them later said, it was the turning point of the match.
When you walk through a storm
Hold your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.
They walked through the 'storm', and at the end of the song was the sweet, silver song of a Liverbird.
