I still have nothing rational to say about Liverpool and what unfolded last night. My head was gone. My head is still gone. My head went sometime after Newcastle made it 2-2, and it looked as if all hope was lost. It went again after Origi found a late winner on Saturday. I went yet again after Vincent Kompany’s one-in-a-million strike. And it’s completely gone after last night. Thank fuck these Reds are made from tougher mental stuff than I. I am gone. Zach is gone, maybe check back in a few month’s time. Maybe. Anyway, enjoy this clip of some of the players celebrating. You have just about the whole range of what we’re all feeling: relief, crying from joy, dancing, and faces hurting from smiling so damned much. It’s a short video, but you see Trent Alexander-Arnold collapsed out of mental and physical exhaustion, in tears as he kisses the badge. You see Mohamed Salah beaming in his civies, no doubt already looking forward to righting the wrongs from last year’s devastating final. You see James Milner, quietly smiling by himself, content in a job well done. You see Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge—the two long-term stalwarts of the club—singing and grooving together. And you see young Rhian Brewster giving Dejan Lovren (much needed) dance lessons. And you see Degsy then turn the camera and shout “WE’RE COMING!” Mate, we’re all coming.<doc-sep>​It is normally hard to process such monumental moments as these - comebacks of the like Liverpool completed against Barcelona at Anfield on Tuesday night do not come around very often. No siree. Thankfully, in the age of social media, we have everything we would ever need to process such incredible moments of footballing magic, before and after. And it was in this after when we saw the true celebrations. Yes, there was the awe-inspiring, spine-tingling, reverberating recital of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' upon the final whistle, but what happened next? Well, the ​Liverpool players went back into the same home dressing room that in the pre-game served as incubator for the incomparable belief they showed on the pitch, and they celebrated. Hard. Here are some of the best reactions:  Inside the dressing room at full-time with our Reds... pic.twitter.com/n8BePcDHfY — Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 7, 2019 Sure, it's not the verite-style, selfie format we've come to love on social media - we'll get to that - but this video from the club's own social media channels is still pretty special, if only for the sheer disbelief in Trent Alexander-Arnold's face. Yeah, you can take or leave the Dejan Lovren dance at the end, but unfortunately he will figure heavily here, despite not playing a minute in either leg. Before we get to Lovren hour, though, have Daniel Sturridge, Rhian Brewster and ​Jordan Henderson singing along to Future. Because, well, why not?

Yes it involves Instagram live. Yes there is a call back to him saying he's the best defender in the world and YES there is some needlessly exposed nudity... ​​Need some cleansing post-Dejan? Well, how about we finish with some life-affirming scenes between unsung hero Alisson Becker and a member of the backroom staff? Not sure why he's screaming 'Top! ', or if that is actually what he's saying, but it's sweet: Top stuff.<doc-sep>Emotions ran high in the Liverpool dressing room after their famous win over Barcelona, and none more so than for Trent Alexander-Arnold. LFC TV were in the changing area after the game to capture the players’ reactions to one of Anfield’s most famous nights, and one of the greatest Champions League comebacks ever witnessed. Players were filmed hugging and injured team-mates Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino also got in on the action with Liverpool staff in a fantastic celebration. Salah is seen marching in and sitting next to James Milner while Roberto Firmino gives the camera a thumbs-up. As the music blares, Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson are spotted dancing and rapping before cracking up laughing, as Dejan Lovren gets in on the action with some moves. 😍😍😍 Inside the dressing room at full-time with our Reds… pic.twitter.com/n8BePcDHfY — Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 7, 2019 But one poignant clip shows Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose quick-thinking on a corner set up the winner in the 4-0 victory, quietly bowing his head and taking a moment before kissing the Liverpool badge to camera. The 20-year-old local boy was clearly overcome with the emotion of the win and the realisation that he is going to be going to the Champions League final, Liverpool’s second in a row. Liverpool will discover their opponents in the final after Wednesday night’s match between Ajax and Spurs, with the Dutch side holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg.<doc-sep>
Social media stories show madness in Liverpool dressing room after Barcelona victory Absolute scenes Tuesday, May 7th 2019 is a date that is now destined to become very special in the minds of Liverpool fans, following their unbelievable comeback against Barcelona. Understandably, the fan in the stadium went absolutely wild upon on the final whistle - and then belted out one of the most stirring and spine-chilling renditions of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' in the history of Anfield. Just imagine the scenes in the Liverpool dressing room. Well, since we are living in the future, and social media exists, we do not have to use our imaginations. The Liverpool players were soon uploading videos to Instagram Stories of the celebrations behind the scenes. Daniel Sturridge posted a video of him, captain Jordan Henerson and Rhian Brewster singing along to Future's 'Extra Luv'. Xherdan Shaqiri and Dejan Lovren also celebrated together. Lovren also revealed an unidentified player's naked behind in a live broadcast from the dressing room. He then grabbed Virgil Van Dijk, and dragged him into the livestream action. Liverpool's official Twitter also uploaded a video of the dressing room scenes, where we can see Trent Alexander Arnold, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mo Salah (who missed the game due to a concussion) taking it all in. To be honest, it doesn't have the same Blair Witch Project intensity of the Inta videos, but Liverpool fans will still definitely enjoy it. 😍😍😍 Inside the dressing room at full-time with our Reds... pic.twitter.com/n8BePcDHfY — Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 7, 2019
