 AC Milan 3-3 Liverpool: Can you name the lineups from 2005 Champions League final on 20-year anniversary?

Can you name the lineups from the 2005 Champions League final?

Two decades ago to this day, Liverpool burst AC Milan's Champions League bubble in the most breathtaking fashion, pulling off what may forever be remembered as the greatest final comeback in the history of Europe's premier club tournament.

Rafael Benitez's Reds squared up to Carlo Ancelotti's Rossoneri at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, where 69,000 spectators could have been forgiven for thinking that the 2004-05 final was a foregone conclusion by the half-time whistle.

A first-minute Milan goal preceded two more strikes from the Italian giants before the break, triggering the most impactful team talk of Benitez's illustrious managerial career, one that went down an absolute treat.

Three goals and one penalty shootout later, Liverpool had somehow pulled off the improbable and won their fifth European cup at the expense of a shell-shocked Milan, whose collection of iconic names were powerless against the Reds' second-half surge.

To mark the 20-year anniversary of that extraordinary turnaround, Sports Mole challenges you to name the lineups from the 2004-05 Champions League final.
