Liverpool had a real dream night at Anfield on Tuesday and rounded off an undercard that was (almost) lost.

Origi’s goal soon began to give hope, since in the last two games they conceded a goal until the 7 minutes, the Catalans had lost 3-0. Should this trend repeat, Jürgen Klopp’s men would, at the very least, take the match for extra time.

In the retina of this magical night was still the thunderous display of Alisson Becker, who, with a hand full of great interventions, was postponing the Spanish goal and turned out to be one of the ‘executioners’, since in the space of 13 months , managed to knock Barcelona out twice after having a three-goal draw. Last year, the Brazilian, then defending the goal of Rome, lost 3-0 in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the millionaire event, but in the second the Italian formation gave back and thrashed by 4 -0.

Reached the second consecutive final – last season he was defeated at the feet of Real Madrid (1-3) – Liverpool are now waiting for an opponent, who will leave the clash between Ajax and Tottenham.
