#3 The Olympiakos Goal
The 2005 Champions League campaign of Liverpool has been much romanticised and discussed a decade later. A discussion about Steven Gerrard has to include the 2005 UCL campaign.
It all really started for Liverpool in the group stages against Olympiakos. It was December of 2004 and Liverpool were on the brink of exiting the Champions League. All they needed was one goal but time was running out. And then in the 86th minute, as has been the norm over the last many years, up rose Steven Gerrard as he unleashed a fiery half volley straight past the goalkeeper and into the right corner of the Olympiakos goal.
As the Olympiakos players stood shocked, the Kop rocked and as for Gerrard, he later admitted that after the goal, he secretly felt that it was the start of something special. Five months later Liverpool lifted the Champions League-something special? Yes!
