The most astonishing comeback I've ever seen in snooker.

What a game of snooker and to see the greatest comeback in snooker history live was astonishing!

Considering that Luca Brecel has never gone beyond the first round at the World Championships before, the fact that he reached the Crucible final for the first time in his career makes his victory in the semifinals already historic. Not to mention he's winning of 11 frames in a row. It's a record of the World Championships. Breсel has wasted a lot of time in snooker on his bad habits. BUT as they say, better late than never

Brecel naar de finale! Prachtige prestatie.

Si collapsed a bit under the pressure. Poor safety and taking on increasingly crazy shots in an attempt to just win a frame and stop the rot. But in doing so he gave Luca so many chances. But saying that what a sensation he's been and I can't wait to see more of him. Never won a tournament let alone been on the biggest stage. He did amazingly well.

Yesterday i had this thought in mind. What if Luca going to do the same as previous match with Ronnie and he did it, in even more fashionable way. Amazing! I’m so proud of this man which i sat on the table with him. Love his character and the story. ❤️

Suberb comeback, and I have to admit I never thought Luca would ever figure in a Crucible Final. However, hats off. Strong stuff and he deserves the title.

Amazing comeback. Hope we see some of the quality he showed against Ronnie winning 7 in a row in the final. If it’s against Selby, glad there are 2 finalists with contrasting styles. The semi v Allen right now is a real slugfest. Couldn’t really endure a final like that so hope Luca plays his natural game. He’s shown twice that he has no problem coming from way behind to win.

He has got to win now after all. Absolutely a star in the making.

I had almost given up on Brecel when I saw he would face Williams. How long ago that was.

Im speechless haha FANTASTIC

I must admit the one time boy wonder, more than 10 years ago, really is surprising me. I thought he didn't have the mindset and attitude to make it on the biggest stage, despite his enourmous talent. It's so good to see him prove me (and a lot of others) wrong though! What a game, what a series, what a Championship!

A couple of days ago nobody cared about snooker in Belgium, now everybody here wants to play it. Brecel has single handedly increased the revenue of bars with a snooker table by at least 100%.

Great win for Luca Brecel. Now he has to win the big one. Looks like it's going to be against Selby. Good luck in the final!

Outstanding from luca. Go down in history as one of the best comebacks of all time...

I think that it's officially the best. When Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis, the lead was 7-0 at one stage but this is more impressive. The semi final is a frame shorter so at 14-5 Si was only three frames away plus the gap was nine.

Wow that is a fantastic comeback

I can't believe i came back Saturday afternoon to find him in the final, Sia was flawless for the beginning. Total shock. Good luck for the final.

Superb comeback, well done..

Amazing accomplishment! You can only see this happen once in a lifetime

Brecel FTW :)

Brecellent! :)

This reminds me of when Jimmy white was 14-8 up over Stephen Hendry in the 1992 final&Hendry won 10 frames in a row to win 18-14

Ronnie O'Sullivan will be proud of you. Spectacular comeback

This result exaplin the forces in game. Brecel with more experience in the end got Ji. Ji was an immense player in the world championship and someone we surely see in the future. Amazing. But under the pressure of Brecel Ji now know that he need something more. More experience. Chapeau to Ji in any case. Brecel can win the final. Good days.

A Selby v Brecel final is a massive clash of styles,...but luca faces his hardest challenge when he tries to overcome Mr granite himself mark Selby,...but the brilliance of Brecel could be enough to claim the title,....but to do that he's got to have the match of his life , because Selby will grind and use is brilliant matchplay craft to the full, and if he does, I think he'll have to much for the dangerous Belgian,....I think Selby as to much in all departments and I think he'll claim a 5th World title , with a 18-13 score,...but I wouldn't be surprised if the unpredictable brilliance of Brecel could turn this match on its head , and claim the win ........fascinating to see how it pans out , ...could be a classic

Bless him.

He is great champion 28 years old humble Great example that europe players can competre and be on the top

Wow I’m a huge O’Sullivan fan. The snooker Luca played against him was mind blowing. However this is on another level

well done Luca, defeating three former world champions

AMAZING 😮

This man works under pressure

waw i never tought he was gonna make it , Si , was getting nervous!!.........😍

I actually really love Lucas style of play, after his comeback in the Ronnie game. I was thinking he’s mentally drained after that. I said no way he’s coming back from their. Not with Si…..but omg the odds were amazing. Even a €10 on it 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Come on Luca !

Si will have time just inexperienced but one day he will win the world snooker championship

Can we start the final with a 17-0 lead by Selby? Only then it's gonna be a very interesting final to watch. 😁

MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC! That's why I love the Crucible. Every year it has never failed me and my love for snooker . It's in THE BLOOD RED BALLS> Rock on Snooker.

Jimmy White v Stephen Hendry in the final was probably the greatest comeback for a major event. The amount of frames won in a row might be a record, but in terms of coming back to win, Stephen Hendry probably takes that. I always wanted Jimmy White to win the World championship as a kid. I remember being absolutely gutted.

Bloody hell!!!

9:25 YESSSSS!!!

Taylor v Interesting 85 was the best come back ever.

Luca Brecel. He's fantastic to watch. He reminds me of Alex Higgins. He's not afraid to take on very risky shots. His comeback against Si was incredible and showed tremendous character and talent. TODAY (Sun)... I think Mark Selby has to up his game and start taking on more risky shots than he normally would to win. I don't think his normal game is up to it against Luca. Playing like he does, never fearless, Luca could easily lift the Trophy today and it's him who i have my money on. Fortune favours the brave and Luca is as brave as they come.

Well if he can do that, he should have no problem in the final! You just at the same time wanna give Si a big hug because that is just painstakingly awful to watch when you were so far ahead... But that being said, COME ON LUCA!!!!!!

Wonder will the ‘’Bullet’’ turn led to gold in the crucible.

If he wins the final snooker wins.

Wow, I was sure Si'd win... Brecel is really strong at final frames. He got several in a row before Ronnie 🤔

Si must have lost it completely! I guess his nerves did not take the pressure. Exhaustion maybe? When it comes to Luca I knew he had it in him. This time he managed to keep the focus till the end!!
