Liverpoolpulled off one of the most miraculous comebacks in European history on Tuesday night as they beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate to seal their place in the Champions League final for a second consecutive year.The Reds battled from 3-0 down from the first leg to beat Lionel Messi and co 4-0 at Anfield without their talisman Mohamed Salah and No. 9 Roberto Firmino.9
Liverpool 3-3 AC Milan
Where better to start than Liverpool’s most recent Champions League final triumph which saw them come back from 3-0 down to eventually win on penalties in Istanbul in 2005.Paolo Maldini’s strike in the first minute and Hernan Crespo’s brace seemingly had the Reds dead and buried at half-time but goals from Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer and Xabi Alonso inside six second-half minutes changed everything.The game went to penalties and the much-maligned Jerzy Dudek made himself a hero as Milan missed three spot-kicks to give Liverpool their fifth crown.9Barcelona 6-1 (agg 6-5) Paris Saint-Germain
Barcelona have a heroic comeback in them too after they recovered from losing 4-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain to miraculously make it through in 2017.The Blaugrana made a good fist of it at the Camp Nou when they found themselves 3-0 up early in the second-half but Edinson Cavani’s goal had seemingly killed the tie.But two strikes from Neymar in the 88th and 91st minutes gave them hope before Sergi Roberto sent the Nou Camp in raptures with a goal in the fifth minute of stoppage-time.9Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 (agg 5-4) AC Milan
Remember them? Deportivo are currently in the second tier of Spanish football but once upon a time they were one of Europe’s best sides.And arguably their best moment on a European stage saw them knock out holders AC Milan in a quarter-final tie in April 2004 after overturning a 4-1 deficit from the first leg at the San Siro.In Spain, however, Deportivo wiped out Milan’s lead in the first-half of the second leg with goals from Birmingham flop Walter Pandiani, Juan Carlos Valeron and Newcastle flop Albert Luque.9Chelsea 4-1 (agg 5-4) Napoli
Chelsea’s journey to their first and to date only Champions League triumph was a memorable one and you could say it was kick-started by this incredible comeback against a dangerous Napoli side in March 2012.They lost the first leg 3-1 at the Stadio San Paolo with Andre Villas-Boas in charge but this proved to be one of the Portuguese’s last games in charge of the club.Chelsea were a different side at Stamford Bridge with Roberto di Matteo the new boss and went 2-0 up thanks to goals from Didier Drogba and John Terry but Gokhan Inler pulled one back.Frank Lampard’s penalty sent the tie into extra-time and then Branislav Ivanovic produced a finish any striker would be proud of to put Chelsea through. And the rest is history as they say…GETTY9Juventus 3-0 (agg 3-2) Atletico Madrid
Mega-comebacks have happened during this season’s Champions League too as Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick inspired Juventus to a heroic win over Atletico Madrid in the last-16.Juve were trailing 2-0 going into the second leg against a team notoriously difficult to break down but Ronaldo had other ideas and almost single handedly sent his former rivals crashing out as the Old Lady won 3-0.9Barcelona 5-1 (agg 6-4) Chelsea
Chelsea missed out on a semi-final place in the Champions League in 2000 as Rivaldo scored two goals to help Barcelona win a topsy-turvy tie.The Blues won the first leg 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and were in a great position when Tore Andre Flo’s 60th-minute strike got them ahead on aggregate after Rivaldo and Luis Figo put Barca 2-0 up on the night.However, Dani Garcia’s goal took the tie to extra-time and a penalty from Rivaldo as well as Patrick Kluivert’s goal put the tie to bed.9Paris Saint-Germain 1-3 (agg 3-3) Manchester United
It was only a two-goal deficit Manchester United overturned but it was a truly excellent win against a Paris Saint-Germain side who looked far too good in the first leg at Old Trafford.Trailing 2-0 on aggregate at the Parc-des-Princes, United went for their opponents and two goals from Romelu Lukaku either side of Juan Bernat’s strike gave the visitors a great shout.And Marcus Rashford’s stoppage-time penalty amazingly sent the Red Devils through to the quarter-finals even if the spot-kick was awarded rather fortuitously.Roma 3-0 (agg 4-4) Barcelona
If any game is going to encourage Liverpool fans the most then it’s this one as Barcelona blew a three-goal lead they had only last year.They were in the driving seat after winning their quarter-final first leg match at home to Roma 4-1.But the Serie A side came roaring back and goals from Edin Dzeko, Daniele De Rossi and Kostas Manolas saw Roma win 3-0 and go through on away goals.9Liverpool 4-0 (agg 4-3) Barcelona
Liverpool went into the second leg tie against Barcelona with the task of overcoming a near-enough insurmountable 3-0 deficit.What’s more, Klopp had to mastermind the victory without two of his most important players; Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.Three goals down and seemingly without a prayer in the match, Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum both struck twice to seal an unbelievable4-0 victory on a special night at Anfield, which has now been lauded as one of the Reds’ greatest European nights.Getty9The match Liverpool can take inspiration from ahead of Barcelona contest
