Untold UK: Liverpool's Miracle of Istanbul
At half-time in the 2005 champion league final Liverpool were 3-0 down. What happened next made football history - as players recall in this documentary.
Critics Sentiment
Liverpool score three goals in six second-half minutes to level at 3-3
Jamie Carragher's backstory takes over the documentary's early narrative
The documentary swings from its lowest point during the Carragher-dominated early backstory (5.0) up to the Mourinho semi-final section (8.5), a rise of 3.5 points as the European campaign finally takes centre stage.
The documentary earns strong praise for its coverage of the European campaign and the second-half Istanbul comeback, with the Mourinho semi-final and the three-goal turnaround standing out as genuine highlights. However, a persistent critical thread runs through reviews targeting the film's early overemphasis on Carragher's backstory, the mishandling of the iconic half-time singing moment, and a general lack of new or surprising footage. The result is a documentary that satisfies newer fans discovering the story for the first time but leaves long-term Liverpool supporters feeling the miracle deserved a bolder, more emotionally courageous telling.
