Down 3-0 to Barcelona after the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Liverpool produced the greatest performance in the history of the club by beating Barcelona 4-0 and qualifying for the final for the second straight season. If Liverpool allowed a goal then they would then have to score 5 to win on aggregate. The Barcelona defender's paid for his error after some great anticipation from Mane and a driving run by Jordan Henderson into the Barcelona penalty box. The Barcelona defense en masse was caught napping as the youngster then noticed an unmarked Origi seven yards from the Barcelona goal. According to FiveThirtyEight.com the chances of Liverpool reaching a second consecutive Champions League Final after the 3-0 loss had plummeted to just 6% from 51% before the first-leg.
