Incredible from Alexander-Arnold, how did he even have the audacity to try that? Brilliant.

Upnthere as one of the best club performances, not just the scoring four but the way they snuffed out Barça as well. You expect a Barca onslaught after the fourth but they saw it out brilliantly. The bit where Fabinho nicked it off Messi, surged forward and won the free kick summer it up.

Just instinct and being fully switched on. In the moment it’s brilliant quick thinking and don’t under estimate the finish either.

There's an awful lot of people with an inherent dislike of Liverpool and their supporters (I'm not one of them) but how anyone could not acknowledge the brilliance of the players and fans tonight would be beyond me.

There is no other stadium in world football like Anfield on a night such as tonight... Spine tingling...


As for TAA - Genius

Not a fan of some of them in that city, but that can be said about anywhere, any allegiance aside that is quite simply one of the greatest performances by a football team, given the stakes, the mountain to climb and the opposition, ever!

Fully agree, amazing performance/event

[Exharboroughspireite]

Absolutely stunning, they play with simply no fear and roared on by one of the most inspiring managers I think I have ever seen.

[JonB]

I think if you’re a football fan it’s hard not to step back and admire the performance and the occasion.

[hilly81]

My dad tried to bring me up as a Liverpool fan. He obviously failed but I do like to see them do well. This will be three European finals in a row I’ll have watched with the old man. I really hope they do it for him.

This is a special Liverpool team. They are only an unbelievable Man City team away from being one of the best.

[Waller is my hero]

Liverpool deserve to win at least one trophy this season

The premier league battle with city has been like nothing else..the points tally they have now would have won the league a month ago & doubt City will slip up.

Winning the Champions League would be a nice reward for a fantastic season

So gratifying that Suarez's cheating in injuring Robertson came back to haunt him.

What a fantastic night.

The sacking or indeed resignation of the Barca manager must follow shortly. I'm not sure Coutinho touched the ball in the entire match. Full backs no longer world class. Suarez can only succeed by cheating.

Means we have to listen to even more crap from Klopp now. Ironically Origi wouldn’t have got a kick if Salah had been fit

[Phil V 72]

Well it was OK I suppose but it was no last minute Dave Waller winner for 4-3 against Halifax after being 3-1 down

Klopp is without doubt the best football manager around in the world

A true man manager to get the best out of any player

Klopp is great. Just how everyone playing Football Manager imagines they would be, I reckon.

One of my favourite ever Town goals.

Some things stick in your mind and that "I promise I shan't celebrate at Anfield when we win / I score" quote put me in mind of Malcolm McDonald of Newcastle bragging before the 74 cup final...

(I enjoyed Suarez' handball goal v the Slags, mind.)

Alba is world class (imo - perhaps he had a stinker last night, I only saw the last goal) but Roberto is miles from.

What a Liverpool team. So hard not to get on the bandwagon when they’re doing stuff like that.

Helped immensely by the ball boy passing him the ‘rmulti ball’ rather than the ball that had just dribbled out of play. Barca players seemingly waiting for the original ball to get to TAA. Reminiscent of the now removed video of the Botafago ball girl making a goal as seen in the the viral video in 2012.(wasn’t she awarded assist of the season...?)
Superb by TAA to be able to see the opportunity in the heat of the moment.

Indeed. Great bit of quick thinking. Can’t wait to see more of him in an England shirt, hopefully once Walker eventually starts declining TAA will be our first choice RB for many years. Just wish Andy Robertson was English (but Chilwell looks good too tbf).
