Top Five: UEFA Champions League Finals

An even contest which gains a spot on this list due to one absolute moment of brilliance from Zinedine Zidane. After Raul's early goal was cancelled out by Lucio, just moments before half-time the French midfielder unleashed a rasping volley with his weaker foot into the top corner of Hans-Jorg Butt's net (who, funnily enough, was also on the losing end for Bayern Munich in 2008). It was Real Madrid's ninth combined Champions League/European Cup win, but most people remember this season for Bayer Leverkusen's horrible luck - where they went from a potential treble to winning nothing at all in a couple of catastrophic weeks. Star player Michael Ballack was then part of the squad who would lose the World Cup final a month later. Ouch. 
Number Three: 2012 - Chelsea 1-1 Bayern Munich (4-3 on penalties)
Chelsea's journey to becoming the Kings of Europe was so unlikely that I can still hardly believe that happened. They looked down and out against Napoli, they looked down and out against Barcelona and with three minutes to goal in the final, they looked down and out against Bayern Munich. Thomas Muller had put the Germans ahead in the 83rd minute and Bayern had been so dominant throughout the match that it looked impossible to imagine the Blues coming back - but nobody told Didier Drogba. The Ivorian's late equaliser followed by Petr Cech's penalty save of Arjen Robben in extra time set up a penalty shootout...and after Bastian Schweinsteiger missed the fifth penalty for his team - Drogba stepped up and potted the winner.
Number Two: 1999 - Manchester United 2-1 Bayern Munich
"And Solksjaer has won it!!"
Perhaps the most iconic line of football commentary ever uttered. Like or loathe Manchester United, it's impossible to not regard the last couple of minutes of this game as the stuff of fairytales. Facing a 1-0 deficit at Barcelona's Camp Nou, the Red Devils won a corner in the first minute of stoppage time - and with the entire team, including keeper Peter Schmeichel, thrown forward, Beckham's ball in wasn't cleared before a shot from Ryan Giggs was scuffed, but steered into the net by Teddy Sheringham. Less than 90 seconds later, another corner came in from Beckham, and history was made by the Norwegian substitute.
Number One: 2005 - Liverpool 3-3 AC Milan (3-2 on penalties)
Could there be any other number one? All of the drama of 1999 was crammed into 120 seconds of unbelievable scenes, but six years later, when United's biggest rivals lifted the trophy for the fifth time, it was 75 minutes of utter bewilderment. After going down 3-0 thanks to a double from Hernan Crespo and a first-minute goal from Milan skipper Paolo Maldini, the Reds looked dead and buried at half-time. In what has become known as Steven Gerrard's finest moment Liverpool refused to lie down and mounted one of the most stunning comebacks in sporting history, completed with Andriy Shevchenko's penalty being saved by Polish goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek in the most unlikely of victories. It's hard to believe that was 10 years ago.
