Screen grab from the Liverpool Echo.
Messi's magic gave Barcelona the 3-0 lead in the semi-finals.
But the atmosphere of Anfield brought what could be considered one of the biggest comebacks in European football history!
It was truly a team effort by LFC.
Two goals by Origi who started in place of Firmino who was injured.
Two goals by Wijnaldum the sub who came in at half-time for the injured Robertson.
Two assists by the youngster Alexander-Arnold.
One assist by Shaqiri who started in place of the injured Salah.
Mane didn't get on the score sheet but was a threat.
Becker got some big saves in goal to preserve the clean sheet.
Henderson and Milner, the quiet midfielders were where they needed to be on offense and defense.
Center backs Matip and van Dijk and D-mid Fabinho patrolled the field - you can't stop Barcelona from getting their chances but you can attempt to limit them so they don't completely over-run your club and these guys made Suarez and Messi earn their chances.
See the amazing highlights at Bleacher Report!
