Liverpool has completed one of the most astonishing comebacks in football history, beating Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield to win their Champions League semi-final tie 4-3.
Beaten 3-0 at the Camp Nou and without injured strikers Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino for the home leg, Liverpool somehow prevailed against the Spanish giant thanks to a brace each for Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Origi struck in the seventh minute, before strikes two minutes apart in the second half from Wijnaldum (54', 56'). Origi sent Anfield into meltdown when he scored again in the 79th minute, sending Liverpool into the lead.
The Reds held their nerve through an incredibly tense finale and will play either Ajax or Tottenham in the Champions League final. Liverpool lost last year's UCL decider 3-1 to Real Madrid.
