Match Day Thread Vs Barcelona (H)

Dida
Maldini, Nesta, Stam, Cafu
Pirlo
Gattuso Seedorf
Kaka
Shevchennko, Crespo

We were definitely underdogs for that game.

The fact we over turned a 3-0 in 45 mintues is more of an achievement than a 2nd leg. There's a 15minute break to get over being 3-0 down, barely any time to make plans. Its pure motivation on behalf of the team to recover.
That's a comeback.



Also we played 120mins with Djimi Traore

 

Jose Mourinho says Liverpool achieved the impossible with Barcelona comeback
"Anfield is one of the places to make the impossible possible"

Look at the Barca keeper after the second goal. Widji takes the ball out of his hands and he immediately holds his face as if he has been attacked. Little sh*t

 

Wiji flipping him over to grab the ball was a highlight. I don't know why keepers bother holding it. For the sake of 2 seconds you send the message that you are bricking it.

 

Wtf? If that's my kid he gets a right hook, the woman just smiles.

Lionel Messi was powerless to prevent Barcelona's defeat

 

About par for the course with Spanish Football and Barca and Real are the masters at it.
We complain about footballers diving and play acting, but in Spain its disgraceful. I noticed that the players waving imaginary cards is still going strong in Spain, despite Fifa wanting a crack down on it.

 

This is a much funnier and #legit reaction, the Barcelona fan starts off so professional and confident, and just sinks into pure quiet despair:

 

Revealed: The words Jürgen Klopp used to inspire Reds' Barca comeback


Dejan Lovren has detailed the words Jürgen Klopp gave to his Liverpool players that inspired them to record arguably the greatest Anfield comeback.


The Reds managed to overturn a three-goal deficit against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League, winning the second leg of the tie 4-0 on Tuesday night.

By reaching their second successive European Cup final, Klopp's side achieved the seemingly unimaginable - a seed that was planted by the manager ahead of kick-off.

"Congratulations to Klopp," Lovren told Liverpoolfc.com. "Before the game he had an amazing speech, it was something brilliant that he did. I think he lifted us so up."

Asked what the boss said, the defender revealed: "'Boys, just believe. Put in your mind that we can do it.' It's something that we never heard before.

"He said like, 'Boys, believe - one goal or two goals. Even if we don't score in the first 15, 20 minutes, believe in the 65, 66, 67 minutes that we can score. With Anfield behind, trust me, we can do it.'

"We did it once, he said, the [Borussia] Dortmund game - we can do it tonight. And we did it."

Ah I can't see that it says Facebook has removed it.

 

This is definitely the better come back than last night's and on a bigger occasion

 

Come and watch it at the Grange with me and the lads.

 

I love Geordies anyway but that was a great watch. Thanks for posting mate

I was saying the other day that 'real' footie fans can acknowledge greatness when and where they see it, this is a very good example.

 

You were a tougher oponent this week than Barcelona. Does that mean Newcastle is a better team than Barcelona?

 

Yes, and a **** in the hand is worth two in a bush.

 

I'm not. Not expecting to win league so no chance of disappointment... Even if we lose.

If City somehow flub up and we win... Marvelous icing on the cake.

 

Nothing will ever beat Istanbul. Last night was truly legendary but no Champions League match will ever eclipse Istanbul. 3-0 reversed in 6 minutes and then we had Hamann playing with a broken toe... Spaghetti Dudek... Just a beyond legendary game and no CL game has come close since.
