Bayern Munich seeking inspiration from Champions League history-makers against Man City

If Bayern Munich are to make a remarkable comeback against Manchester City on Wednesday, they may want to look at three dramatic turnarounds from three goals down during the Champions League's storied history.

Thomas Tuchel's side were downed 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of their quarter-final, with Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland on the scoresheet. Some five years have passed since City lost a game by the same scoreline in the competition, with Liverpool recording a 3-0 victory en route to reaching the 2018 final.

Liverpool themselves famously overturned a three-goal deficit the following year as they beat Barcelona in the semis, but the feat has only been achieved three times at an earlier stage. Here, Mirror Football looks back at those instances - as well as one team who came desperately close to joining the club.
