Well, why not?

Depor 4 - 0 MIlan

Depor were 4-1 down after the game in Milan. This come back was so good a giant caterpillar invaded the pitch.

Only MLS, but impressive nonetheless. San Jose were 2 down from first leg, then conceded 2 further goals early in the second leg. After that a come back ensued. I think they won on a "golden goal".

Lovely stuff. That's the spirit.

The only time I've ended a game cheering on United. OK, they were level after the first leg but 3-1 down pretty soon after the start.

Mind you they had a full a fit squad.
Maybe they just went too hard in the last two games and should have played themselves in.
Might have held off the injuries a bit longer.

Quite a lot of reasons:

Two goal deficit in any PO semi final in history only once been turned over;

This is a meaningless statistic without context. How many times has a team had a 2 goal lead going into a 2nd leg? How many times has that been the team playing away in the 2nd leg? Without knowing the context there might not be that much relevance in your statement other than yes, overturning 2 goals is a tough ask, but not with such a definitive weight of history against it.

Liverpool when Gerrard scored and Tyler and Gray went mad.

Brighton vs Milwall 1977. 2-0 down at half-time - 3-2 winners

This. Two comebacks each needing 4 goals in successive rounds of the UEFA (quarters and semis) by the same side. Anything is possible.

Brighton at the moment have an incredibly strong first eleven for this league but don't have the strength in depth when players are out. But they still have over half a dozen players who could be promotion class in the side; all it requires is one or two of the others to step up and play out of their skins and to get a bit of luck which they've been cursed with not having much of recently.

Six players out injured, one suspended;
Four consecutive defeats in PO games, conceding 10 goals;
Failed to even score against SW in last 6 attempts;
Your just making up stats! It's THREE consecutive defeats and EIGHT goals conceded! Also... STOP BEING SO ****ING NEGATIVE

1975/76 season Real Madrid were 4-1 down to Derby but won the 2nd leg 5-1. Mr Clough was not happy
