'F***ing hell Jerzy, how DID you make that save?': Former Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek reveals what Andriy Shevchenko said to him after THAT sensational stop during epic Champions League final in Istanbul on this day 15 years ago

Jerzy Dudek became a Liverpool hero on this day 15 years ago as the Reds produced a historic comeback to beat AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final.

The goalkeeper was the hero in the eventual penalty shoot-out but he is also remembered for an astonishing double save that kept his side in the game during extra-time.

After Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer and Xabi Alonso clawed back a three-goal deficit in 90 minutes, Milan had a chance to win it before penalties.
