In pictures: Liverpool’s stunning comeback against Barcelona

Liverpool produced a staggering comeback against Barcelona to reach the Champions League final in Madrid on June 1.

Jurgen Klopp’s side trailed 3-0 after the first leg at the Nou Camp but Divock Origi’s seventh-minute opener gave Reds fans hope.

Georginio Wijnaldum came on as a half-time substitute and he repaid Klopp’s faith with two goals in two minutes to put Liverpool 3-0 up and level on aggregate before Trent Alexander-Arnold’s intuitive quick corner saw Origi net his second with 11 minutes remaining and complete a spectacular turnaround.

Here, Press Association Sport picks out some of the best images from a remarkable night at Anfield.
