Oh, what a night!

The pictures say it all...

Liverpool have produced one of the most stunning comebacks in Champions League history, beating the mighty Barcelona 4-0 in the second leg of their semifinal at Anfield this morning. 

It overturns a three-goal deficit from the first leg, to send the Reds thru to the final 4-3 on aggregate.

Manager Jurgen Klopp says he has no idea how his side managed to pull off the win, adding that he can't remember a match as dramatic as this.

Even some former Liverpool stars were left in disbelief, with the likes of Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen and John Barnes all hailing it as one of the club's best performances.

The Reds are now through to the final for the second successive year...and will next face the winners of tomorrow's other semifinal between Ajax and Tottenham.
