Liverpool need another famous comeback to progress in the Champions League on Wednesday after their 3-1 quarter-final first leg defeat to Real Madrid.

Here, the PA news agency examines other classic comebacks for the Anfield club.

Liverpool beat Milan in a penalty shoot-out to win the Champions League after
sensationally coming from three goals down at half-time in a match later dubbed The Miracle of Istanbul.

Paolo Maldini gave Milan a first-minute lead, and two goals from Hernan Crespo put the Italian giants in a seemingly unassailable position at the interval.

Reds captain Steven Gerrard gave Liverpool hope, and Vladimir Smicer and Xabi Alonso levelled in a seven-minute spell. Jerzy Dudek then saved from Andrea Pirlo and Andriy Shevchenko in the shoot-out to clinch a stunning
victory.

Gerrard's added-time screamer dragged this Millennium Stadium final into extra time, just when West Ham thought they had the match done and dusted.

The Reds captain's second goal salvaged a 3-3 draw at the last, after West Ham had thrown away a 2-0 first-half lead. Jamie Carragher's own goal and Dean Ashton's finish had the Hammers in control, before Djibril Cisse cut the deficit before the break.

Gerrard levelled the tie at 2-2 before Paul Konchesky struck to edge the Londoners into that 3-2 lead which the Liverpool skipper cruelly snatched away at the death. Liverpool then prevailed 3-1 on penalties, only Teddy Sheringham finding the net from West Ham's four efforts, with John Arne Riise firing the decisive spot-kick.

Liverpool had to win by two goals to advance to the knockout stages, so
Rivaldo's 27th-minute goal left the hosts with an uphill struggle.

Florent Sinama Pongolle put the Reds back on terms after the break, before Neil Mellor edged Liverpool into the 2-1 lead with nine minutes to play. And then up popped Gerrard, firing home from 20 yards to secure that two-goal victory margin, with just four minutes of normal time remaining.

Liverpool 4 Newcastle 3 (Premier League, Anfield, April 1996)

Stan Collymore's finish sealed a 4-3 win over Newcastle (David Kendall/PA)

Branded the Premier League's greatest ever game by many, and considered the defeat that ultimately came to define Newcastle's title-race implosion.

Robbie Fowler struck for Liverpool after just two minutes, before Les Ferdinand and David Ginola had Newcastle leading 2-1 inside quarter-hour. Fowler equalised after the break, only for Faustino Asprilla to put Newcastle 3-2 ahead before the hour-mark.

Stan Collymore grabbed his first goal with little more than 20 minutes to play to tie the game at 3-3. And just when Newcastle thought they could escape Anfield with a point the former Nottingham Forest striker slotted home Liverpool's winner. Footage of Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan slumped over in
the dugout still encapsulate a breathless night.

Liverpool 4 Borussia Dortmund 3 (Europa League, Anfield, April 2016)

In Jurgen Klopp's first season at Liverpool, and against his former club, his team found themselves 3-1 down in the second leg of their quarter-final tie and therefore losing 4-2 on aggregate and facing elimination.

A finish from Divock Origi was all the hosts had to show for their efforts on an evening when Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus gave an impressively strong Dortmund team a convincing lead.

With 25 minutes remaining they still required three goals, but Philippe Coutinho's low shot and then Mamadou Sakho's header put them on course for so unlikely a victory.

Dejan Lovren's stoppage-time header, from James Milner's cross, secured exactly that. Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel said after the match: "If I could explain it then something logical would have happened. You can't explain it."

Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona (Champions League, Anfield, May 2019)

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg at the Nou Camp, Liverpool mounted an astonishing recovery at Anfield.

Divock Origi started the comeback when he opened the scoring after seven minutes and Georginio Wijnaldum netted twice in 122 seconds to turn the tie.

Origi's second 11 minutes from time, after Trent Alexander-Arnold caught out Barcelona with a quick corner, sent Jurgen Klopp's side into the final – where they would beat Tottenham 2-0.

It was the first time since 1986 – when Barcelona knocked out IFK Gothenburg – that a team had overturned a three-goal first-leg deficit to win a semi-final in the competition.
