The Reds produced another one of their famous European comebacks against the Spanish giants, with braces from Divok Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum helping Jurgen Klopp's side book their place in their second successive European Cup final. And Gerrard, who helped inspire the Reds to their Champions League triumph in 2005, when his side came from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan on penalties in Istanbul, delivered a classy message in the immediate aftermath to the game. The current Rangers boss, who was in the stands for the clash at Anfield , wrote on Instagram: "To a man the redmen were simply incredible. Wow @liverpoolfc what a team".

Liverpool got off to the best start possible with Divock Origi tapping in from close range inside seven minutes. That cranked up the atmosphere inside the stadium another notch, with Barcelona struggling to cope with Liverpool's continued pressure. Still, the Spanish champions went in at half-time in control of the tie with the aggregate score 3-1 in their favour.<doc-sep>The Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard, watched his former club progress to the Champions League final on Tuesday. The Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard, is hoping for a Liverpool-Tottenham Hotspur Champions League final, according to Jamie O’Hara. Gerrard returned to Anfield on Tuesday to watch Liverpool – the club he twice led to the competition’s last two as captain – overturn a 3-0 first-leg defeat against Barcelona. And Tottenham will hope to follow suit in their tie at Ajax on Wednesday, after losing 1-0 to the Dutch side at White Hart Lane. Gareth Bale Is BACK...FIVE Months Late Speaking to Talksport earlier, O’Hara, the former Spurs midfielder, claimed: “I actually spoke to Stevie G last night. I text him at half-time – I didn’t realise he was at the game. “I just said: ‘wow, what an incredible match’. And he said: ‘what a game, it was incredible to be there and that’. “He actually texted me back and said: ‘let’s hope Spurs can do it now it’ll be a great final’. He’d love to see a Liverpool-Spurs final. So I thought that was really nice of him.” While O’Hara and Gerrard were never teammates, their careers did cross paths. The former played Premier League football for Tottenham, Portsmouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers while the Rangers boss was at Liverpool. Now 32, O’Hara is currently employed as player-assistant manager at non-league Billericay Town. Will the Rangers manager get his wish of a Liverpool-Tottenham final?

Steven Gerrard hailed Liverpool FC’s “simply incredible” performance in Tuesday night’s 4-0 victory over FC Barcelona at Camp Nou. The Merseyside outfit appeared to be heading out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage following a 3-0 loss to FC Barcelona in the first leg at Camp Nou last week. However, Liverpool FC broke the deadlock in the seventh minute when Divock Origi netted to give the home side some momentum early on in front of their home supporters. FC Barcelona managed to regroup and prevent Liverpool FC from adding to their second-leg lead before half-time when Georginio Wijnaldum replaced the injured Andy Robertson. The Netherlands international scored a quick-fire double with his right foot and head to level the Champions League tie over two legs and leave the Reds requiring one more gaol to progress. Remarkably, Origi, who was drafted into the side to replace Roberto Firmino up front, netted his second goal of the night after some quick thinking from Trent Alexander-Arnold. Gerrard captained Liverpool FC to Champions League glory in 2005 when the Reds came from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan on penalties in the final in Istanbul. And former Liverpool FC captain Gerrard lavished praise on Klopp’s players for an incredible performance to reach their second successive Champions League final. Gerrard wrote on Instagram: “To a man the redmen were simply incredible. Wow 👏👏👏 @liverpoolfc ❤️ what a team 👌” Liverpool FC will return to Premier League action on Sunday with a home clash against Wolves, before taking on either Ajax or Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final on 1 June.
