Decade's greatest sports stories of resilience

A look at some of the greatest stories of resilience across sporting disciplines:
ROGER FEDERER'S AUSTRALIAN OPEN TRIUMPH, 2017

Roger Federer had endured arguably the worst year of his professional career in 2016. He had missed the second half of the season due to a knee injury and went through the entire year without a single title to his credit. But he came back with a bang in the 2017 Australian Open, breaking his four-year Grand Slam title drought by beating arch-rival Rafael Nadal in five sets in the final.
LIVERPOOL BEAT BARCELONA, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMIFINAL, 2019

Liverpool were seemingly down and out in the Champions League when they lost 0-3 to Barcelona in the first leg of the semifinals at Camp Nou earlier this year. But buoyed by the Anfield crowd in the return leg, the English giants scripted a miraculous comeback with a 4-0 win. It was perhaps written in the stars as they went on to beat Tottenham Hotspur in the final to lift their sixth European title.
BARCELONA BEAT PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND OF 16, 2017

Barcelona had engineered an equally dramatic comeback in the 2016-17 season of the Champions League. Having lost to Paris Saint-Germain 0-3 in the first leg of the Round of 16 away from home, the Catalan side won 6-1 in the return leg with Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar all finding the back of the net, the last goal coming with the very last kick of the game.
KUSAL PERERA'S 153 NOT OUT VS SOUTH AFRICA, 2019

Kusal Perera grabbed the attention of the cricketing world when he smashed an unbeaten 153 against South Africa in Durban to help his side pull off a one-wicket win. Chasing 304, Sri Lanka needed another 78 runs when Perera was joined by No. 11 Vishwa Fernando at the crease. Perera led the way with an innings that will go down as one of the best fourth-innings hundreds ever.
BEN STOKES' 135 NOT OUT VS AUSTRALIA, 2019

Ben Stokes has ensured that his name will be taken in the same breath as legendary England all-rounder Ian Botham following his unbeaten 135 against Australia at Headingley earlier this year. Staring down the barrel at 286 for 9 in a run chase of 359, Stokes launched a stunning counter-attack and took his side home to complete a miraculous heist.
