    Thought had a tiny chance if Salah and firmino were able to play , but that's some comeback especially without them two.

    Amazing by Liverpool. As I've said before, Barca are very disjointed at the moment.

    Liverpool were at them most of the game but Origi was class in his hold up play and Wijnaldum came on and scored two good goals.

    As I said before, that Barca team is miles away from what they used to be. Messi is Messi, but they are lacking in a number of areas.

    Another bottle job from Valverde. Has to be punted now.

    Hate Liverpool but buzzing for Klopp. Squad with a lot of average players and he’s got them playing unbelievable football and turning them into a force on every front.

    Incredible job.

    Aye think they'd pump Ajax or Spurs as well. Ajax wouldnt cope with people like Robertson, Arnold, Mane attacking them at pace and Firmino or Salah if they're back in time. Ajax have been able to boss teams as the opposition have been slow and lethargic but Liverpool will match them for energy and beat them for quality.

    Still be a good final to watch though.

    Fantastic result. Would love to see them lifting the trophy now. What a history they have in European football.

    Fair * to them.

    Barca thought they were through and they were caught sleeping and never took any chances that came their way wanting Messi to do it all for them not enough of them standing up to be counted

    Some manager, his Dortmund and Liverpool teams built out of nowhere two of the top teams in Europe and best to watch. 3 CL finals reached as well and challenging for/winning Leagues with them unexpectedly. He's like the anti Mourinho still a winner but well liked and attacking.

    Players like Busquets, Pique, Suarez, Rakitic look so slow and stiff compared to even a year or two ago.

    Then you’ve players like Vidal who shouldn’t be at Barca and Coutinho looks like a lost little boy.

    They should be tearing teams apart with players like Messi Dembele Coutinho Arthur.

    It is amazing from Liverpool. I don't know what it is about them, but they seem a bit insufferable when they win or get close to winning. Klopp's a great dude and a * brilliant manager. Their players have given their all, all season, in a incredible, grinding, tough premier league race. They deserve this. They were the better team in the 1st leg as well.

    What I cannot take, is how poor Barcelona played tonight. They have so much experience and class, that should NEVER been allowed to happen. Valverde playing Coutinho as well. He is a coward and should never be allowed near a Barca jersey again. Worst games I have seen Busquets and Alba have in my life.

    Begrudgingly congratulations Liverpool. Come on Ajax! :84:
