Carli Lloyd's master-class against Japan in the 2015 Women's World Cup final can be re-lived, as well as the Red Devils' unforgettable Champions League victory in Turin.

#WorldCupAtHome brings iconic Women's World Cup 2015 final back to the screens

Our list of must-watch replays kicks off with the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup final. Continuing the #WorldCupAtHome campaign, FIFA will air the epic showdown between USWNT and Japan in Vancouver, Canada.

This game will forever be remembered as the Carli Lloyd show. Four years after being shocked in the 2011 final by the Asian giants, the Stars and Stripes had one goal and one goal only in this repeat: get revenge and win the title. Lloyd, who was named the captain for the tournament by Jill Ellis, not only led her nation to victory but also did it in emphatic style, brushing aside their rivals 5-2.

Furthermore, from the five goals scored that day, Carli netted three of them, registering a hat-trick within 16 minutes. The last of that three-goal haul saw the legendary midfielder chip the Japanese goalkeeper from near the half-way line. Re-live this historic showdown on FIFA TV on YouTube.

Don't miss the Carli Lloyd show!

UEFA TV bringing two classic Champions League semi-finals back to the screens

While the final is the most critical Champions League fixture, the semi-finals never fail to entertain. The two classic last-four showdowns on UEFA TV's schedule until May 14 are proof of that. The first replay to hit the screen will be Real Madrid's unforgettable showdown with Bayern Munich in the penultimate stage of the 2011/12 season. Benzema would go on to score the only goal of that game before Los Blancos smashed the German giants 4-0 in the second leg (5-0 on aggregate) to reach the final for the first time since 2002. In case you forgot, this is the season Real Madrid won La Decima.

The other semi-final tie on UEFA TV's schedule is Juventus vs Man United. This, unlike the other fixture, is the second leg of the match-up. After playing out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, the odds favored the Bianconeri going through given the home advantage. However, things did not go as planned for the Old Lady. Despite going 2-0 up, the Italian giants suffered a shock defeat in Turin against the Premier League giants. Iconic Red Devils captain Roy Keane sparked this comeback, netting their first goal. Yorke and Cole went on to find the back of the net to earn Sir Alex Ferguson's men the victory and a ticket to the final. There they faced Bayern Munich in another historic comeback, beating the Germans and becoming the first English side to win the treble.
