Champions, Miracle of Anfield: Liverpool basked in glory after epic comeback

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool heroes were hailed for their "stupendous" and "impossible" comeback on Wednesday after obliterating Barcelona to reach the Champions League final at a frenzied Anfield.

The five-time European champions beat Lionel Messi's side 4-0 on Tuesday, overturning a 3-0 first-leg defeat to progress to the final for the second consecutive year.

Stand-in striker Divock Origi and substitute Georginio Wijnaldum both scored twice as Klopp was forced to cope without injured star attacking duo Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.

"Do not adjust your reality. This really is happening. There have been glorious, entirely improbable games in Liverpool's European history, including the mind-bending highs of Istanbul," said The Guardian.
