Liverpool stun Barcelona: 'This club touches you like crazy' says Klopp

Liverpool pulled off a Champions League miracle coming from three down to win 4-0 at Anfield and knock Barcelona on their way to a second final in two years.

Trailing by three goals from the first leg no-one gave the Reds much hope but two goals apiece from Divock Origi and game-changing half-time substitute Georginio Wijnaldum saw them progress 4-3 on aggregate.

In a truly remarkable - and intense - game not only did Liverpool erase that disadvantage inside 56 minutes, they went on to score a winner and, remarkably, kept Lionel Messi quiet.

For only the fourth time in the competition's history a team was eliminated from a knockout tie having won the first leg by three or more goals, the last occasion being Barca against Roma in last season's quarter-final.

One of Tottenham or Ajax now await the Reds in the final in Madrid in three weeks' time. Here's how a truly special night unfolded.
