Leave it to the Anfield residents to stage of one of the great comebacks in Champions League history in knocking out Barcelona.
Scissors beats rock.
The country is imperiled.
Still, I take joy where I can.

What a goal that fast free kick was too!
Never give up!

Simply amazing. Not only beating any team at that level 4-0 but without The King Salah AND shutting out Messi and Barca. One (away) goal by Barcelona would have pretty much wiped out any chance by Liverpool.
ESPN doesnt have the highlights yet. Will watch tonight. The goalkeeper apparently had at least 3 huge saves.

(29,686 posts)I used to go down and work out to the second half of Spurs games, but last time I went, they'd "upgraded" to new machines that have all these metrics, hills, etc., instead of TV channels. Stupid!

Now I have to find highlights somewhere in the UK.

(3,622 posts)In the 71 FA cup final, Liverpool FC has caused me to experience extreme joy and anguish.
After Istanbul in 2005 I thought I'd never feel that euphoria again...
Until this afternoon...
So proud of Jurgen Klopp and the lads today...
