Liverpool produced one of the most stunning comebacks in Champions League history to beat Barcelona 4-0 and progress to the final for the second consecutive year on Tuesday.
However, Origi — making a rare start — and substitute Wijnaldum both netted twice as Barca for the second season in succession surrendered a three-goal first-leg lead to exit the Champions League.
However, Klopp underlined the importance of his side writing their own history even if their bid for a first Premier League title for 29 years falls short behind Manchester City this weekend. “We know this club is the mix of atmosphere, emotion, desire and football quality. You cut off one and it doesn’t work, we know that,” Klopp said.
“The most hurtful thing is to repeat it,” said Valverde, who may struggle to hold on to his job despite guiding Barca to two La Liga titles.His side were left to rue not taking their chances in the first half after weathering Liverpool’s early burst. Wijnaldum’s impact was massive. He was picked out by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s low cross and drilled under Ter Stegen. And from Liverpool’s next attack, Xherdan Shaqiri picked out Wijnaldum to head home at the Kop end.“I was really angry at the manager that he put me on the bench but I had to do something to help the team when I came on.”
