Summary

Luis Garcia: Liverpool folklore. His impact on the Reds' run to Istanbul was already clear to see with goals against Bayer Leverkusen and of course his starring role in the quarter-final against Juventus. Yet, on 3rd May 2005 he would imprint his name into Liverpool legend forever more with the only goal in the semi-final second leg against Chelsea. Join Guy Clarke and Dan Kay as they look back on the game as the Reds took the final step to their first European Cup final in 20 years. Rafa v Jose, Garcia's 'ghost goal' and the sub-plot of Chelsea's intense interest in Steven Gerrard all feature.
