After losing 0-3 to Barca in the first leg, few people could believe that the "Red Brigade" could "turn the tables" in the 90 minutes of the official match. However, the two goals of Origi and Wijnaldum helped Liverpool officially remove Barca from the Champions League.
This was truly an unbelievable win if looking at the injury situation of the pillars of the port city football team. The Kop are missing both Firmino and Mohamed Salah in attack. Their successors to the starting lineup, Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri, have all played very little this season.
As Liverpool scored first and second goals, Klopp calmly signaled his players to continue playing. However, when the third goal came, he could not hide his excitement and the fourth goal made this man feel like he wanted to "go crazy".
In an interview after the match, Klopp swears, he shares:
They were a billion damned flood. If you want to punish me, just do it. The whole match was too much to endure. We have to face perhaps the strongest team in the world. Winning was very difficult, but we won without conceding.
I don't understand why the players can do that, it's unbelievable."
This victory helped Liverpool regain a ticket to the final from Barca. The Kop were the first team to feature in the final match of this years Champions League.
As for Messi and his teammates, they continued to "miss the appointment" with the European championship and their dream of 3 was also broken.
