LIVERPOOL: Liverpool reached the Champions League final with a remarkable 4-0 thrashing of Barcelona in Tuesday's semi-final second leg.AdvertisementGiven the size of the task seemingly facing Liverpool, it was no surprise to hear Jurgen Klopp had warned his wife not to expect a celebration when he returned home from Anfield.
Only Deportivo La Coruna in 2004, Barcelona in 2017 and Roma in 2018 had overturned a three-goal first leg deficit to win Champions League knockout ties. The astonishing revival will now forever be mentioned in the same awed tones as Liverpool's never-to-be-forgotten 'Miracle of Istanbul' when Steven Gerrard and company recovered from 3-0 down at half-time to beat AC Milan on penalties in the 2005 Champions League final.
Among all the great moments in Liverpool's glittering history, Wijnaldum's was among the most unexpected, but his dynamic display was about far more than his crucial goals as he drove Barca to distraction with his pressing.
