The 2005 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match that took place at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey on May 25, 2005 to decide the winner of the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League. It is widely considered to be one of the most extraordinary matches in the history of football. English club Liverpool faced Italy's A.C. Milan. Liverpool won the match in a penalty shoot-out after the game had finished 3-3. It was Liverpool's fifth success in the European Cup and, as a result, they were given the UEFA Badge of Honour, which appears on the left arm of the European kits.
