It’s hard to believe it’s been so long since the Reds’ claimed their fifth Champions League title in such dramatic fashion, but the years keep on whirring by.

Benitez shared a few photographs from the historic evening in Turkey, including one of him back at Anfield some time after 2005, with accompanying caption: ‘Happy memories and thanks for all the messages. What a night!‘

Liverpool fans will forever remember the date of May 25 – for it’s when the club claimed their first and fifth European Cup, in Rome and Istanbul respectively.

It’s also nice to see former icons, such as Benitez, taking a moment to remember and celebrate what they helped to achieve.

Rafa wasn’t alone, though – as of the time of writing, Luis Garcia and Neil Mellor have also taken to Twitter to share their memories of the Miracle of Istanbul – take a look at their tweets below.
