Some sporting comebacks defy logic and stick with us for years. Rank the ones that stirred something real, whether it was pride, disbelief, or a proper tear.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona, 2019
Down 3-0 from the first leg and without Salah or Firmino, Liverpool produced one of the greatest European nights ever. Origi's corner routine is still watched on loop.
B
England vs Australia, Headingley 2019
Ben Stokes' unbeaten 135 with Jack Leach hanging on at the other end kept the Ashes alive in the most improbable fashion. Pure theatre in Leeds sunshine.
C
Andy Murray's Wimbledon 2013
Beating Djokovic in straight sets to become the first British men's singles champion since Fred Perry. The Centre Court roar could be heard across SW19.
D
Leicester City, 2015-16 Premier League
Ranieri's Foxes defied every prediction to lift the title, turning Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez into household names. Still the greatest league story football has produced.
E
Team GB, London 2012 Super Saturday
Ennis, Rutherford and Farah delivered three athletics golds in 46 minutes, capping a night that changed how Britain saw itself as a sporting nation.
