Liverpool have been incredible here. Barcelona were rocked when that first goal went in and haven't recovered at all. 

Think they were having flashbacks to the Roma match last season

You could see when the second goal went in that the Barcelona players were shellshocked. They were still competitive in the first half but Liverpool have been all over them this half. Amazing performance level from Liverpool considering the amount of games they've played, injuries, etc. I have no love for their fanbase but you can't help but respect this team and manager.

Firstly you have to give credit to Liverpool tonight. A stunning performance at tail end of a very long season for them. They pressed Barcelona from the off and simply overpowered them with desire and workrate. No Salah or Firminho, lining up with the likes of Matip and Origi... just ridiculous.

With that said, you'll rarely see a top team mentally collapse in the way Barcelona did tonight. As soon as the first goal went in their resolve began to crumble. Every player seemed to recede into a shell and it seemed inevitable that Liverpool would at the very least pull it level. It was one of the worst performances you'll ever see from a supposedly elite team, where not a single player comes out of the game with any credit. Messi and Suarez, totally useless. The defence a joke. The final goal summed it all up. It just shows that all the talent in the world means nothing if the mentality isn't there. 

That miss in the final seconds of the Nou Camp game will haunt Barcelona for years to come. Liverpool meanwhile may never perform better than they did tonight.

Well, I thought Liverpool would win, but I couldn't see Barca not scoring.

Barca were lucky to be 3 up from the first leg. If you thought Liverpool glory hunting was bad it pales in comparison to that of Barca.

Still on for the Spurs Ajax cup win. Lol!
