For that rematch in England, Klopp suffered two very important losses: Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, its main figures and part of the dangerous offensive trident that included Sadio Mané. Absences mattered little. After seven minutes of play, Belgian Origi made it 1-0 and gave signs that Liverpool were alive. It is true that Barcelona had some chances to tie and practically sentence history. As true as the result in the first leg (two by Messi and one by Suárez) had been too bulky for what was the process of the meeting.

In the second half, the Reds gale occurred. In just 11 minutes of the complement, Wijnaldum doubled to equal the series. But Liverpool had no intention of an extension or penalties. And after 34 minutes, Origi again scored the goal of the miracle, the one that turned history, the role of Barcelona and the glory of Liverpool. So, May 7, 2019 will be recorded as a historic day for the Reds and as a black day for the Catalan club.
