Bloody hell!! Well done you scouse ****s! 😉
Absolutely brilliant performance
Poor bugger has to do an interview when he should be in there with team mates
^^^ ha ha.....Have any money on that Binners
Bloody hell. No Salah, no Firmino, and Divock Origi to score the winner. You couldn't make it up...
Don’t be daft! I’d never put money on that. Put money on you losing to Wolves on Sunday though 😉
In all honesty though: fair play. Great performance. Always support English teams in Europe. Apart from Chelski, obviously
One of the best and amazing performances I have ever seen by a British team in Europe, and completely unexpected against the might of Barcelona. The Origi goal from the corner was wonderous!
Well done Liverpool from a Leeds fan (hope we can put similar performances in during the play-offs) MOT
For the 96!
They’d be proud!
👍👍👍
To use an old Manchester saying "Top Banana!!!"
as for Messi being from another planet..... I only saw the last 25 minutes, but several times I watched him let a Liverpool player run past him with the ball out of defence. I know his record puts him above all others but he didn't put a shift in tonight when he needed to.
Chapeau.....said through gritted teeth 😉
Messi was completely silenced tonight, but are you suggesting that performance tonight is representative of his career?
Glad to see someone finally punish a pretty average Barca side, even if it was Liverpool.
Shouldn't have been 3 down after the first leg but opportunities were there against that defense. Didn't think they would do it though.
Spurs to win it!
When your defence has gone to sleep before a corner. You’re already 3-0 down... 😀

So what does Origi have to do to get a start? He’s come up with the goods every time he’s been asked. Wish we had someone that good warming the bench!

Absolutely not....... a week ago I said he was the GOAT
"and there have been 30 (or 40, or even more) goals/season strikers but they seem to be out and out strikers. Andy Cole for example, was a predator pure and simple but Messi creates, dictates, conducts, manipulates, AND scores goals"
But today he needed to put a shift in and he was found wanting. No matter how good he is, he went missing in that last 20 minutes when he needed to press and win balls back.
Mane put it in mega shift in first half. TAA corner was super genius. Gigi header was perfect. Alison as level headed as a goalie can get. That was ace.
Wish we had someone that good warming the bench!
you did, you now seemingly still have

Man of the match ?
Front to back, period. Every single one of them stood up to be counted and by God they didn’t disappoint. Warriors the lot of ‘em.
I'm no big fan of football but blimey
Weeksy……I take it all back regarding Liverpool’s reserve forwards!
Got to say as well amid the carnage – Allison was superb.
LOL I didn't argue with you at the time, but Origi put me firmly in my place last night and has sealed his place in Liverpool folklore and history on that performance.
By 'eck though you're right, the keeper played an absolute blinder too, i think some are forgetting that already... he was on fire.
I'm not ashamed to admit i cried like a baby last night after that. Liverpool FC has always been an emotional hotbed for me, but this weekend was exceptionally poignent too. I woke up this morning thinking "did that actually happen...." it seems it really did.
Whether they can win the final now, well as we know a lot comes down to chance to a great extent, but damn, they're obviously in with a chance of it 🙂
Allison was my man of the match.
If it were not for him it would have been 4-4 at least.
Little J can’t wait to get to school as lots of his friends were supporting Barca! Haha.
Can we just pop this pearl of wisdom back up for a little consideration?..... 🙂

You’re not coming back from 3 down to Barca no matter how much self-mythologising you want to do 😉
LOL in his defence, i wasn't that convinced we could either... I thought "well, you never know" but it wasn't a realistic thought.
It's a fair cop, guv.
I didn't think you had a cat in hells chance. Not with Bobby and Salah both out. An unbelievable performance! I bet it was absolutely mental in Liverpool last night!
I had the debate with my lad when he said about Salah and Firmino being out
"Lets just see, you never know.... "
"maybe Origi will score Daddy"
"Don't be daft son, that big carthorse can't score again"
Errrrrm 🙂
I half hope i don't get a ticket for Madrid as unless they come as a pair, one for me and one for my lad, i can't see myself going. It would be incredibly harsh for me to go to the final without him as his interest has blossomed in football and Liverpool in these past months.
Back in the day (ahem) any European football was mostly Liverpool, or seemed that way at least, so I've always had a bit of soft spot for them in the Euro Cups.
I thought Istanbul in '05/06 (can't remember) was something of a miracle, but last night was just about as nuts as footy gets...
It was Liquid Football
I didn’t think you had a cat in hells chance.
I'm not sure anybody realistically did. It was only a possibility because it was a possibility. Not realistic. Barcelona only had to score one goal while Liverpool were scoring their first three - which would have knocked the wind out of Liverpool and rendered their mission practically impossible.
For me, it was not conceding that won the game. Becker has played in both games where Barcelona have had a three goal advantage overturned! Mané, despite not scoring was a beast all evening - really had the defence on their toes all night. VVD is an immense presence; he really is. Nearly scored from the corner too. I can't quite pick out a MotM to be honest.
Has there been any confirmation on whether the corner was a practised move i.e. "Shaq, you shape like you're strolling over to take the corner. Divock, you hang around, stay onside and let's see if they buy it," or was it just an instinctive move from TAA?
EDIT: Seems, from listening to Klopp saying "I don't know what happened...", it was instinctive. And if it was, that was pure genius from a 20 year old.
VVD is an immense presence; he really is.
Best player in the premiership this season, by a country mile. Best defender in the world at the moment, also by a country mile. The 75 million you paid for him has looked like more and more of a bargain by the week. People go on about strikers and midfielders, but how many points a season is he worth? Bloody bucket-loads!!
Yep - I reckon VVD would even make Mignolet look solid!
would even make Mignolet look solid!
But not Karius. VVD's not that good 😉
I honestly thought if they were to win they would've had to score 5 goals - I didn't see Barca not scoring at Anfield.
Chelsea lost transfer ban appeal. 👍
"Barca will struggle to cope next week given the unique atmosphere, famous Euro night etc etc. Scousers to win 4-0."
Did I heck put a penny on that...
Wonder what the odds were? Did anyone have a look?
Think it was 66/1 best price.
Wow, this Ajax side are no mugs.
And it's goodnight from Spurs I think.
they've created chances though..... just very weak finishing; twice straight at the keeper. A goal then would have livened it up, need to score in the next ten mins I think and then who knows.
But I suspect they're ****ed
Oh no here we go again...
although.....
rewind 24 hours; as soon as 'we couldn't **** this up..... could we....?' creeps into the mind
De ja vu !! It can’t happen again?
that shoulda been it!
I have no chip in the game for either Liverpool or Spurs beyond them being English clubs
but at this stage last night my nerves were shredded knowing a goal would put Barca through
- and tonight I'm cool as you like knowing a goal for Spurs does the same.
It's a wonderful thing having nothing but hope
FWIW that's the shittest time wasting short corner ever......
OHHHHH FFS!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahaa
shittin'ell
so Liverpool held the greatest comeback in history for about a day
Jeeez. Words fail me!
Scenes
Football. ****in' hell
the final's gonny be shite now after that those 2 games! 😆
Blimey, I turned off the commentary at 90+5...
Liverpool: "We're the comeback kings..!"
Spurs: "Hold my beer.."
I wouldn't want to be trying to put a 30min highlights programme of the 2 semi finals together. Wow just wow.
Blimey! Is Spurs name on the trophy? They were all but out during the group stage! VAR saved them v City! And they were out tonight at half time!
0-0 final and penalties? 😂
Given the way the footy is shaping up this week, I wonder if Sunday might be one of those insane ends to the season that goes down to literally the last kick, complete with Martin Tyler commentary?
Spurs fan here and it's been new bike day too. What a time to be alive.
Personally I was hoping for an Ajax-Barca final 🙁
I’m hoping Spurs go 2 down in the first 10 mins in the final - bound to win it 4-2 then!
But what if Liverpool go 3 down in the first half?
8-8 at full time and penalties after 4 or 5 comebacks?
It’s going to be nil nil, isn’t it?
moooo hahahahaahaaha! COYS!!!!
I want to consign my 84, shelf, me , milk crte to stand on, memory to hisory....pleaseeee!!!!!!
I went to bed early and missed the action! Fair play.
Should make it interesting at work -loooooads of spurs here!
Pochettino keeps on referring to "final chapter" , maybe he's off to United after all?
&hoping neilnevill's hangover is not too bad. ha.
hadn't twigged but we have two sides in the box seat in the Europa semis tonight as well. Could have all four sides in the finals, which would be amazing.
(is there such a thing as the box seat anymore where football's concerned. Any sense of prediction went in the sea some time ago)
That was all-round just a bit crazy wasn't it.... I really thought they were dead and buried after the first half, but then no, comeback time LOL. Most entertaining stuff. Look forward to the final now... (Well, after we get past the last league game on Sunday)
bleuurghhh. blink...blink.....errr what happened to my head?
Pochettino keeps on referring to “final chapter” , maybe he’s off to United after all?
I reckon he's said to Levy - I'm here until I win the Champions League or you sack me...
If Spurs win, he'll be off to manage Argentina if Scaloni fails at the Copa America...
Poch is going nowhere
Did you see the interview were he said he was off .... he couldn't kept the smirk off his face.
It was straight out of the Mourinho play book... take the pressure off the players by making the build up about the manager ... classic
Well thats what Im hoping.
I'm coming around to that "horrid" green strip
COYS
Looks like the Premier League is quite strong at the moment.
Oh my word Chelski & Le Arse - a London derby in the final.....& it’s played ****in’ where???
Sarri has to be the luckiest manager in the PL. Played awful all season & somehow ended up with CL football & a Euro final.....
😶

Interesting write up on the current flights/hotels etc in Madrid. If tickets come up, i think me and my boy will be in the Mondeo and sleeping in a layby rest area on the motorway on the way back. But at £500 a pop for tickets, i'm not really sure i want them to come up !
Fly to Barcelona or Malaga and get the train. I’ve got zero chance of getting tickets, but that’s what i’d Be doing.
If they came up, i'd be driving from home in Berks, tunnel and car to Spain. It's a jaunt, but i'd live. But even that is going to be £1500 for me and my lad. So part of me is hoping we don't get an option !
We drove down to Madrid for the 1980 final. Pretty much non stop with a quick kip in the odd lay by for my dad. I was very young but still a good memory.
drive to Liverpool and watch it in a fanzone? I'm sure there'll be one for those that can't make the trip (note re ticket availability and price as above)
On that point - I know why UEFA want to stage in neutral venues, and allocate tickets to sponsors and locals as well as the teams, but Baku? Really? When it's a fair bet that it'll be W.EU teams in the finals. OK, 4xEPL is an anomaly but you'd predict the finalists to come from Germany, Italy, France, Spain or England really wouldn't you? Maybe Holland but I wouldn't have expected it (Ajax have been wonderful but remember they had to qualify for the tournament proper, they've punched way above their supposed weight)
