Liverpool produced one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history to beat Barcelona 4-0 on Tuesday, overturning a three-goal first-leg deficit and advancing to their second successive final with a 4-3 aggregate victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two goals each from stand-in forward Divock \nOrigi and halftime substitute Georginio Wijnaldum left Lionel Messi and \nBarcelona utterly shell-shocked after a Liverpool performance full of \npassion, belief and determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Juergen Klopp’s side will play\n the winner of Wednesday’s other semi-final between Ajax Amsterdam and \nTottenham Hotspur, with the Dutch side leading 1-0 from the first leg in\n London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liverpool became only the third team in the history of \nthe European Cup or Champions League to come from three goals down after\n the first leg of a semi-final and progress after Panathinaikos in \n1970-71 and Barcelona themselves in 1985-86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a night that \nwill be remembered by Liverpool fans alongside their fifth European Cup \nwin in Istanbul in 2005, when they came back from 3-0 down at halftime \nto win on penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Barca, who went out on away goals to AS \nRoma in the quarter-finals last year, after winning the first-leg 4-1, \nit was a bitter occasion that will raise many questions for coach \nErnesto Valverde.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
