3 Best Champions League finals

Real Madrid won the 2018 Champions League final to register their third consecutive title. They are struggling in the league right now, but they could improve under their newly appointed head-coach Santiago Solari.

Below we have listed three Champions League finals which are considered as one of the best finals in the history of the elite competition.

1- AC Milan v Liverpool (2005)

The 2005 Champions League final saw an incredible contest between Liverpool and AC Milan. Liverpool, who defeated Juventus and Chelsea on their way to the final, came into trouble from the very beginning. Paolo Maldini scored the opening goal for Milan in the first minute of the game. Then Hernan Crespo extended the lead to three goals and made a strong case for Milan's victory.

The end of the first half almost confirmed the victory of Milan. However, Rafael Benitez's side made a massive comeback in the second half. Steven Gerrard's superb header got Liverpool their first. Then 2 minutes later, Vladimir Smicer fired the second goal to reduce Milan's lead to just one goal. The pressure came to Milan after Xabi Alonso equalized in the 60th minute. From then on, both teams tried their best in vain to get a goal and the match went to penalties. Jerzy Dudek's goalkeeping heroics won the penalty battle 3-2 for Liverpool in the end.
