Liverpool have just beaten Barcelona 4-0. Without Salah, without Firmino, with Robertson forced off. They have just done the impossible. They were heroes. Each and every one. Remarkable, remarkable team. — Neil Jones (@neiljonesgoal) May 7, 2019 Liverpool will play the winner of Ajax and Tottenham in the final. Ajax won the first leg of the semifinals 1-0. The two teams will play Wednesday. Once a winner is determined, that team will take on Liverpool June 1 in the final. ——— Chris Cwik is a writer for Yahoo Sports. Have a tip?

Nobody expected the five-time champions to mount a comeback against Barca, who came into the match with a 3-0 lead from the first leg. Advertisement All Barca really needed was one goal, even with Liverpool's four, but they were unable to summon any discernible spirit to find a way past the home side, or the home crowd. As good as Liverpool were - and they were really, really good - Barcelona were abject. A large proportion of this was to do with the fact that Liverpool prevented them from playing their game, but some of the blame rests with the visitors too. They were clearly arrogant coming into the match, as well as being complacent, and they did not look like a side which had learned their lesson from last season's similar elimination at the hands of AS Roma, which came after a 4-1 victory for Barca in the first leg. Understandably, the reaction in the Spanish press to the loss was, to put it kindly, an absolute evisceration. L'Esportiu, the Catalan daily sports newspaper, led with the front page headline: "They have not learned anything." Mundo Deportivo, another Spanish daily sports newspaper published in Barcelona, wrote succinctly: "Feeling ashamed." Advertisement Perhaps the greatest condemnation came from Sport, which led with the simple statement: "The biggest ridicule in history." 🌪️|The Spanish Newspapers have had their say.

That's how Spanish newspaper Sport have, rather succinctly, labelled Barcelona's latest Champions League collapse. Thirteen months after the Spanish champions threw away a 2-0 first leg lead against Roma, falling 3-0 in the second leg of their quarter-final in the Italian capital, they went one further. With one foot in the final after a 3-0 semi-final first leg success against Liverpool at Camp Nou, Ernesto Valverde's men were once more left stunned, after capitulating in the face of unflinching desire. Two goals from Divock Origi and two goals from Gini Wijnaldum ensured it will be Jurgen Klopp's men who head to the final in Madrid on June 1, with Lionel Messi's treble hope left in tatters. (Image: Getty Images) Inside Sport, both Ivan Rakitic and ex-Reds playmaker Philippe Coutinho are handed 0/10 in their player ratings. Coutinho, who left the Reds for a potential £142million when he moved to Spain in January 2018, was labelled "invisible"; he was hooked on the hour mark with the score at 3-0. On the Brazil international, it was further added: "He lacked strength and in defence was a danger to the team itself. [It's] Hard to justify his signing." (Image: Getty Images) Mundo Deportivo similarly described Coutinho as "invisible" and the Catalan newspaper also offer that the loss is "worse than Roma". “A Barcelona without life collapses at Anfield. A ridiculous goal conceded from a corner is an epitaph of this team.” Their front page, simply declares: "Blush". In Marca , the loss is labelled a "historic failure", with fingers pointed throughout the side: "Starting with the coach, unable to find an antidote to a decimated Liverpool, aligning the same team he had in the first leg, where Barça were inferior. They also state that Messi "impeccable in the first leg, disappeared in the return, when he had to save his teammates". Catalan newspaper L'Esportiu is particularly damning, declaring simply "They have not learned anything" on their front page - touching back on that Roma defeat last year. Madrid-based AS have a different take, instead choosing to focus on the positives of Liverpool rather than Barca's failings, with "Thunder at Anfield". Elsewhere, France's L'Equipe label Klopp's side "Crazy Reds", Tuttosport hail them as "a legendary Liverpool" and Corriere dello Sport's headline is "Liverpboom!"<doc-sep>
Fury and humiliation are the primary feelings coming from Spain the morning after Barcelona suffered one of the worst Champions League defeats of all time. Barca were beaten 4-0 by Liverpool in the semi-final second leg at Anfield, crashing out of the competition having led 3-0 after the first game at the Nou Camp. The Spanish media have unsurprisingly been hugely critical following the loss, describing it as the worst moment in the history of the club. Newspaper Sport, on yellow letters on plain black funereal background, carry the headline: 'The biggest farce in history.' Spanish paper Sport carry the headline 'the biggest farce in history' after Barcelona's loss AS call it a 'storm in Anfield' as Barca said 'goodbye to the treble' with a 4-0 loss to Liverpool Mundo Deportivo have one word: 'Sonrojo', which roughly translates as 'Embarrassing' Underneath they describe it as the 'blackest page' in the history of Barca after they were 'eliminated from the Champions League in an unforgivable way at Anfield.' They compare the loss to Barca's elimination from the competition last season where they went out to Roma in the quarter-finals, losing 3-0 in Italy having won 4-1 in the first leg. The back page of Sport reads: 'As happened in Rome, [Barca manager Ernesto] Valverde's team did not know how to manage their advantage.' Marca ran the headline 'Fracaso Historico' - 'Historic Failure' - under a scoreboard picture The other Spanish sports newspapers have a similar theme - AS call it a 'storm in Anfield' as Barca said 'goodbye to the treble', failing to add to the La Liga title and their place in the Copa del Rey final. Mundo Deportivo have a one word headline: 'Sonrojo', which roughly translates as 'Embarrassing'. They describe Barca as playing 'without a soul', and say the 'ridiculous' fourth goal - where Divock Origi swept in a quick Trent Alexander-Arnold corner with the Barca defence statuesque - marks 'the epitaph of a team that repeated Rome.' Meanwhile Marca, which generally covers Real Madrid in more detail, were also highly critical of Barca's shock elimination. They ran the headline 'Fracaso Historico' - meaning 'Historic Failure' - under a picture of the scoreboard reading 4-0 to Liverpool.
