Overview

This 2026 documentary revisits one of football's most famous nights: Liverpool's comeback from 3-0 down at half-time to win the 2005 Champions League final on penalties. Players including Xabi Alonso and Jamie Carragher, alongside manager Rafael Benítez, tell the story in their own words. The public bias label is Neutral, and that fits. This is a sports history film with no political framing, no identity themes, and no ideological agenda detectable in available signals. The rating is modest by default rather than by design. Fans of the club will find it devotional; everyone else gets a well-documented account of an unlikely sporting result that still generates argument about how it actually happened.
