Published time: 7 May, 2019 20:55
Liverpool staged an unbelievable comeback as they thrashed Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield to win their Champions League semi-final 4-3 on aggregate on one of the most incredible nights in the competition’s history.
Trailing 3-0 from the first leg in Spain, and without star forwards Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, Liverpool stunned Barcelona through doubles from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum.
It was a pulsating night that carried echoes of the Anfield club’s equally unbelievable comeback in the ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ in 2005, while Barcelona and star man Lionel Messi were left crestfallen and out of the competition.
