The Istanbul final is still going strong in fan’s memories 10 years later
As the 10th anniversary of Liverpool FC’s dramatic Champions League win against AC Milan in Istanbul approaches, LFCTV GO will mark the occasion with a dedicated Istanbul video collection and the launch of a 5 day all-access pass that can be purchased from midday today (Thursday 21 May) until Tuesday 26 May.
Bank Holiday Monday will mark exactly a decade since the Reds stunned AC Milan at the Ataturk Stadium, recovering from a three-goal half-time deficit to dramatically claim the Champions League on penalties. To celebrate fans will have 5 days access to LFCTV GO and the Istanbul anniversary collection which includes the chance to relive all the excitement from that famous night ten years ago with a showing of the uncut Champions League final match, all for just £2! Reliving the 2005 UCL Final in real-time and in its purest form as it was beamed by satellite to broadcasters worldwide: no commentary,no hype just the raw footage of the most dramatic night in LFC’s history.
Also exclusively available as part of the pass is ‘One Night in Istanbul’, a film that charts the hilarious tale of two down-on-their-luck taxi drivers from Liverpool who strike an unusual agreement with a local gangster in order to get their tickets for the match. The film will be shown every 90 minutes from 11:59pm Friday until 11:59pm Monday.
Throughout the anniversary period more great features will be added to the collection, including the Story of the Day which takes a look at all the build-up, the best of the action and extended celebrations on one of the most thrilling days in the club’s history.
The collection also includes a brand new feature, ‘Carragher’s LFCCTV’, which takes a look at Carragher’s contribution on the iconic day with an in depth view of his time on the pitch and a new Istanbul themed episode of #LFCWORLD, the club’s weekly magazine show, including the thoughts of AC Milan’s captain at the time, Paolo Mandini.
All this, and more, is available for just £2 for a 5 day pass. LFCTV GO can be found at: www.liverpoolfc.com/video
