#1 Luis Garcia: Liverpool vs Chelsea - 2005 Champions League

Luis Garcia remains a Kop legend for his all round ability to create, score and influence matches. He also remains the player that spooked ‘The Special one’ and Chelsea out of the Champions League in the semi-finals.

Four minutes into the game, it was pandemonium as the Reds seized the advantage, albeit with a ghost goal. Milan Baros beat Petr Cech to Steven Gerrard's flick into the box and lifted the ball over the shot stopper before being knocked to the ground.

Luis Garcia then flicked it towards goal as William Gallas ran across to clear it on the goal line. Garcia and his team-mates reeled away in celebration. Although it was unclear on the replays, the linesman felt it was a goal and handed Liverpool the lead.

Even with the benefit of countless television replays, Garcia’s winner remains a source of debate to this date. It surely remains the spookiest goal ever awarded.
