In case you didn’t know..
Liverpool completed a comeback or as they say in Spanish, a remotanda against FC Barcelona last night by beating the Spanish champions 4-0, with Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum scoring a brace apiece.
Barcelona were 3-0 up in the tie, following their win at the Camp Nou in the first leg of their semi-final tie last week. The Catalan giants were the firm favourites to reach the final as it was always an improbable for Liverpool to overturn a 3-0 deficit. But that’s exactly what Jurgen Klopp’s side did last night.
Liverpool dominated the game throughout the course of the match and deservedly won 4-0 and reached their second successive Champions League final.
The heart of the matter
Mourinho, who is a part of beIN Sports’ punditry team, did not spare Barcelona in his post match comments and analysis as he slammed their mentality, especially in the manner in which they switched off right before conceding the fourth goal.
He further added,
Mourinho had earlier called Lionel Messi, a living God, after his performance in Barcelona’s first leg victory at the Camp Nou last week, with the Argentine scoring two fantastic goals in the thumping 3-0 win.
What’s next?
Liverpool make it to their second Champions League final in a row, having lost to Real Madrid in the all-important game last year. Coincidentally, this season’s final takes place in Madrid and Liverpool’s chances of winning the trophy is better than ever.
Meanwhile, Ajax host Tottenham Hotspur tonight in Amsterdam in their semi-final second leg contest. Ajax currently hold a crucial 1-0 away goal advantage against Spurs, but last night has proven that anything can happen in football.
