Trailing by three goals from the first leg, there were always tempered expectations ahead of Barcelona’s visit to Liverpool.
Yet it only took seven minutes for hope to arise in loud bursts amongst the crowd at Anfield as Divock Origi poked home into an empty net.
A misjudged clearing header from Jordi Alba fell to Sadio Mane who danced through towards goal.
