Two goals each from stand in forward Divock Origi and half time substitute Georginio Wijnaldum left lionel messi and Barcelona utterly got shocked after a Liverpool performance full of passion, belief and determination.

 

Liverpool became only the third team in the history of the European cup league to come from three goals down after the first leg of semi-final and progress after panathinaikos in 1970-71 and Barcelona themselves in 1985-86.
