Five frozen in time

Here are five great sporting comebacks that rival Barcelona’s 6-1 victory over Paris Saint Germain on Wednesday to make the Champions League quarterfinals:

Miracle No 1 — Houston

• In this year’s Super Bowl, the New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime after trailing 28-3 in the third quarter.

Miracle No 2 — Istanbul

• Liverpool won the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan despite being 3-0 down at halftime. The Reds then scored three goals in six minutes before going on to take the title in a penalty shootout.

Miracle No 3 — Medinah

• At the 2012 Ryder Cup, Team Europe trailed 10-4 going into Sunday’s singles after being badly outplayed over the first two days. But Jose Maria Olazabal’s squad battled back to win 14.5-13.5, thanks to Martin Kaymer’s winning putt on the last green.

Miracle No 4 — 2013 America’s Cup

• Team New Zealand led 8-1 against the Oracle Team USA before surrendering its huge advantage to lose 9-8 at San Francisco. The US won the winner-takes-all final race of the regatta by 44 seconds.

Miracle No 5 — France stuns All Blacks

• In the 1999 Rugby World Cup semifinals, France trailed the All Blacks by 24-10, but Les Bleus stormed back to win 43-31 thanks to a 28-point haul from Christophe Lamaison. The French scored 26 points during a devastating 13-minute spell.
