Well, with all that Corona drama going on and being forced to stay at home for most of the time... Why not share our
favorite matches of all times guys? Matches you want to watch from their
first to last minute!
I am quite a homegrown guy to be honest but I would still love to do my walks, especially now that the weather is getting better. Anyway, recently I took advantage of this "stay home opportunity" to enjoy some of my favorite matches of all times! I have watched most of these at least 10 times and I never get bored. Even though it is hard for me to decide on my favorite ones, here is my temporary
Top 4 + 1 (random order!).
How about you guys? Any matches you cant get enough of? Please share - and feel free to comment on my selection if you like!
Liverpool - Alaves 5-4 (2001)Goals are the quintessence of football, I mean it! Yeah, there may even be a nice 0-0 every now and then but I am definitely a fan of many goals. The UEFA CUP final 2001 (was UEFA Cup back then and not Europa League) was a goal-fest! The final was decided by an own goal by the way (golden goal rule actually) - thank god that golden goal rule has been a short-lived one. Liverpool back in that day couldnt be compared with nowaday´s Liverpool and Alaves with some impressive rookie performance. I just love this match!

https://youtu.be/qXecpmKl6MYManchester United - Bayern Munich 2-1 (1999)I just love finals, no matter what sport, I love them! And whats to say about that incredible Champions League final in 1999 in Camp Nou between Red Devils and Bayern Munich. Even though I am Greek, I have been living in Germany and almost all of my friends were Bayern supporters...
Yeah, I admit, that final wasnt top quality over the whole 90 minutes BUT... the finale compensated us for a hundred matches, didnt it? What happened in those last minutes was unbelievable...

https://youtu.be/cmtmojTSRR8Liverpool - AC Milan 3-3 (3-2 penalties) (2005)Liverpool once again! That Champions League final was played in Athens (while we also had Olympics in Greece). Well... Liverpool with one of the biggest (if not the biggest) upsets in European Cup history, winning the trophy after penalties. Whatever team you support, this game is ... a dream come true and advertising for football!

https://youtu.be/oWdPDofBxl0Barcelona - Real Madrid 5-0 (2010)What a night, what a night... I love Barca, always have! And this match will always hold a special place in my heart! Yeah, sounds dramatic but honestly, it was awesome, wasnt it?!
Best Barca of all times dominated Mourinho´s Real Madrid in his first "Clasico". Well, not much to say, an unforgettable night for me and it all began with Xavi's first goal of the match.

https://youtu.be/Jeiu7y-a220Greece Euro Champion 2004Yeah, not a single match but rather the whole tournament - a miracle and a dream come true for every Greek. No words needed really and even while writing this, I am getting euphoric once more. Check this video out, watch the pictures and listen to those Greek reporters. Owning Portugal twice with the EURO being played there... and CR7 crying in the end... priceless! I have watched all Greek matches dozens of times! Really some of the best days in my life!

https://youtu.be/wZDHLltOeVcI am more of an NBA fan and a 90's kid. So to cut the story short, I am a Jordan fan! Who's not, right? haha! So, what I usually watch over and over is the Chicago Bull's last season together which I think was 1996, and it was game 6 vs the Utah Jazz where Jordan himself drained the game winning shot! Absolute clutch!
