Barca really getting away with some grabs/holds. 

 

[gianmarco]

Yes!!! What a ball by TAA

ETA -- Or a nice deflection. But whatever!

[gianmarco]

O. M. G.

 

[charvik]

Just need two or three more of those

 

[Capella]

 

 

[gianmarco]

What an amazing cross and finish. Holy cow.

 

[prefontaine]

 

[gianmarco]

If you're Liverpool, do you keep pressing hard, or do you sit back and slow it down, and defensively hold on for dear life?

Press on. Barca is on the ropes, and need two more to not be Messi'd

 

[gianmarco]

How is Rakitic allowed to do that after the slip? He can't keep playing the ball on the ground?

 

[charvik]

Man, he is hard to keep down... and here's a free kick for him.

ETA: whew...

Barca have been gawdawful but one moment of pure magic and it won't matter. Halfway feel like Pool will score again beforehand.

Exactly, need two more, because Messi can score at any moment.

 

[Slapdash]

Valverde waited far too long to change back to the 4-4-2.  Coutinho was useless on the left today.

 

[prefontaine]

I thought I read somewhere that Away Goals is going away next year. It's moments like this that I really hope that doesn't happen. This is knives edge stuff. 

 

[gianmarco]

####### brilliant

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

OMG

 

[charvik]

Agreed 100%, it's insane that they want to make away with that.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

So cheeky. 

 

[charvik]

One more... :bitingnails:

 

[gianmarco]

That's all TAA. 

 

[Slapdash]

Barcelona continue to sleep walk

 

[otello]

That was cheeky 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I guess if he’s replacing Rakitic Barca have Malcolm in the Middle. 

 

[gianmarco]

Barcelona just woke up.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Forget the goals, Origi has been terrific. 

 

[gianmarco]

Man, I hope Liverpool time waste the #### out of the rest of the time here. 

 

[Slapdash]

Can't even get a shot off

 

[Sinn Fein]

I don't have to like it - but tip of the cap to Liverpool.  Well played.

 

[gianmarco]

Absolutely outclassed all match long.

Unreal.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Blowing a three goal lead two years in a row...sometimes I freaking hate sports.

Congrats to Liverpool - good luck in the final.

It really has been multiple years of falling flat in these away legs

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Better team won.  First leg wasn't nearly as lopsided as the second anywhere except goals.

Don't care what happens Sunday or in the final, I ####### love this team.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Got the sense they were just looking for Messi to bail them out. 

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Biggest home field advantage in any major sport?  Can't really believe that just happened.

 

[The Z Machine]

Got the sense they were just looking for Messi to bail them out. 

On one hand, I can't wait him to be done. On the other, I never want him to stop.

I guess I'm just happy Liverpool went through, for @randall146's sake. I hope pool wins it all.

 

[shader]

I can’t believe what I watched.  Speechless.  Congrats to all my fellow Pool fans.  What a day

Yep, even with a healthy squad I wouldn't have given Liverpool much of a shot.  That was amazing.  Good to see them advance and get a chance for some silverware - was afraid they were going to have to rest their laurels with 2nd place in the Premiership.  

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

no voice

the people at lunch were none too happy with my shouting. unfcuking believable 

 

[Slapdash]

Didn't connect earlier that Liverpool's keeper was Roma's last year during the same comeback

I would be very surprised if Valverde is the manager to start the next season

 

[otello]

Still can’t believe what happened.

I'm curious if you guys know or have a thought, but do you think English fans of other big clubs (United, Tottenham, Chelsea, City) or a big rival like Everton would be rooting for Liverpool (i.e. an English club) to win against Barcelona?

As someone who reads a ton of Twitter on game days, I got this one.  They really hate Liverpool and nothing would make them happier for the team to go trophyless.

Especially Toffees (Everton)

I am on a Spurs Board daily - nobody wanted Liverpool to win.

Liverpool fans never shut up.
