          Down 3-0 after the first leg at the Camp Nou, Liverpool did the unthinkable at Anfield, turning around the tie with four answered goals in one of the greatest comebacks the Champions League has ever seen.

          With a three-goal deficit and without two of their famed front three in Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino (both injured), Liverpool got two goals apiece from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum to shock Lionel Messi and Barcelona 4-0 and reach the Champions League final.

          Count investor Lebron James in among those who were captivated by Liverpool's comeback.

          BT Sport brings up a good point: Where does this comeback rank among Liverpool's greatest?

          ESPN's Katie Nolan seems excited...

          Seven percent chance of advancing... tell that to Liverpool!

          Some statement from a Jamie Carragher, one of the heroes of that famous 2005 Champions League final comeback in Istanbul who played over 500 times for the Reds.

          Even former rival Jose Mourinho could only tip his cap towards Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp while speaking as a pundit for beIn Sports.

          Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita, out with a groin injury, nervously watched the final from home but had to be extra careful celebrating the big win.
