Steven Gerrard has named his favourite Liverpool goal as the stunning strike against Olympiacos in the 2004 Champions League group stage. This goal is often remembered for its incredible power and significance, struck from outside the box after a precise header from Neil Mellor set him up perfectly. Gerrard himself described it as "one of the sweetest strikes I have ever hit," and the accompanying commentary, "Gerrraaaaard Ohhhhh you beauty, what a hit, son, what a hit!" has become iconic among Liverpool fans.

The importance of this goal cannot be overstated; it effectively made Liverpool's famous run to the 2005 Champions League final—the "Miracle of Istanbul"—possible. At the time, Liverpool needed to win by two clear goals against Olympiacos to progress from the Champions League group stages, and Gerrard's volley sealed that crucial victory, sending Anfield into raptures.

This strike encapsulates Gerrard's legacy, blending technical brilliance, timing, and impact. While he scored many memorable goals for Liverpool over his career—such as the dramatic FA Cup final winner against West Ham in 2006 or various powerful free kicks—this particular volley remains his standout moment, personally and for the club's history.

Overall, the Olympiacos goal symbolizes Gerrard's ability to rise to the biggest occasion and deliver moments that defined Liverpool's European success and his own legendary status.
