Liverpool performed the miracle and turned around a three-goal deficit from the first leg by beating Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final tie.
Braces from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum did the job for the Reds, who were simply out of this world.
The home side made a perfect start when Marc-Andre Ter Stegen saved Jordan Henderson’s effort, but Origi was on hand to tap the rebound home.
After that, Barcelona created a couple of good chances. However, Alisson, who had an inspired game, made saves of great significance.
At half-time, Jurgen Klopp had to bring Wijnaldum on as Andy Robertson couldn’t continue. The Dutchman played the role of super-sub by scoring two goals in as many minutes to wipe out the disadvantage before the hour mark.
The comeback was complete in the 79th minute when Trent Alexander-Arnold took a quick corner to surprise every Barca player, and Origi was alert to tuck home the last and decisive goal of the tie.
