Miracles do happen and Liverpool have just confirmed this in the
second leg of the UEFA Champions League against Spanish giants
Barcelona, overturning the latter’s massive advantage in the first leg
and qualifying against all odds for the final.

| David Origi, one of the heroes of the match |
Barcelona came to Anfield with a 3-0 advantage, but a 7th minute
goal by David Origi and a rapid double by Georginio Wijnaldum in the
second half cancelled Barcelona’s lead and unsettled them.
Then in the 79th minute, Origi scored his brace of the night
following a cross by Trent Alexander-Armold to make the scoreline 4-0
and 4-3 aggregate, sending the Liverpool into the UEFA cup finals
against either Ajax or fellow English team Tottenham Hotspurs.
The final will be played in Madrid on June 1.
Liverpool played without their hitman Mohamed Salah, who was injured last week. Also out was Brazilian Firmino.
With little expected from Liverpool, it was Barcelona, parading
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez that imploded at Anfield, in a game watched
by over 54,000 people, including former captain Steven Gerrard.
