Who was Liverpool’s best player against Barcelona?

Wow! When it seemed impossible, when it seemed dead and buried, Liverpool somehow, like they always seem to do, put together a magical comeback.

Entering the second leg with a 3-0 deficit and with injuries to Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita, the deck was firmly stacked against Liverpool, but Jurgen Klopp believed, the players believed and the fans believed.

Divock Origi got Liverpool off to the perfect start after finding the opener just seven minutes in.

An Andy Robertson injured forced the introduction of Georginio Wijnaldum who, within 10 minutes of being on the pitch, scored two goals in two minutes to tie the game up at 3-3 on aggregate.

Quick thinking by Trent Alexander-Arnold allowed Origi to find the winner in the 78th minute and send Liverpool to their second consecutive Champions League Final.

On a night were Liverpool played one of the world’s best sides out of the park you could pick any of the boys as the man of the match, but who was the best?

Simply select which of the players shown below you think had the better game and go ‘winner-stays-on’ style until the end.
