The Miracle of Istanbul

Watching the first half of this game is still so painful but from then on it's pure joy. The greatest sporting moment I've ever witnessed. The perfect preparation for the game tonight.

Liverpool stage sensational comeback to beat Barçelona

Overturning a 3 goal deficit isn't easy against any team but it's almost become Liverpool's to do the unthinkable. The score line from the first leg flattered the Catalan giants but they took their chances, Liverpool didn't.

Even I couldn't see this kind of turnaround happening. Again. The season has been tough but what a feat. Beating the Spanish champions comprehensively and without reply.

My second club, AS Roma knocked Barcelona out in similar fashion a round earlier last year turning the result around and progressing to play Liverpool.

Hopefully the final ends with a Liverpool victory and the trophy returns to Anfield once more.

Update

While I'm tempted to flood your feeds with more and more coverage of last nights game, I'll stick to updating with links here:

  • An Anfield miracle transcribed from the pages of pure fantasy
  • Liverpool blow the living shit out of Barcelona
  • Rory Smith for the New York Times

You can see the highlights of the historic win below:

Came across some post-match interviews I missed last night. One of the most striking things about Liverpool, especially under Klopp (and Rafael Benetiz before him), it's not about individual glory, this team is more than the sum of it's parts and I think that comes across so well. No matter the conduct of the opposition, how impressive the win or those moments of genius from one or two players, this team just do it all together.

Update

BT Sport's 'No Filter' videos are a fantastic look back at the game.

Update

A bit like BT Sport's unfiltered videos (above), Liverpool FC put together videos about match day, including some coverage of the game. I normally give them a miss, but couldn't this time:

Pizza is my favourite food of all time, Bon Appétit take on the challenge of creating the perfect pizza as part of their new Making Perfect web series. This is the prologue/trailer for season 1 but the first episode is out on how creating the perfect pizza dough.

Update

Yesterday saw the end of season 1 where the team came together to create the perfect pizza and it looked delicious.

Tattoo, explained

Vox's Explained short documentary series looks at different topics in each episode and this one on tattoos has been my favourite.

After many evenings spent watching Miami Ink years ago and increasing the desire to get a tattoo, I'm now inspired again to look into it once more. I already have one, but I do want more!
