Liverpool's Basque Savior

They were down three to nothing.

Their dream of becoming the European League champions was all but gone.

But they would not go without a fight, Steve Gerrard and then Vladimir Smicer were in charge to put the team in red on the score board.

Finally, Xabi Alonso, the Basque midfielder from Donostia would be the one to give Liverpool the chance to fight for the championship with his goal.

And they went on to win it, making history in the process.
