I mean all of us surely watched it 100s of times lol.

Three quarters of the views were by me.

Had to bump this, just thinking about it all morning again. Never see anything like it again.

I won't be surprised if we do see something similar (not for a while as I don't think my heart could take the drama). This club has come back firmly fixed in its genome.

The trend was set when we believed we could come back from a 5-1 deficit to Ajax. That didn't happen but that belief never went away.

Posting again that I was literally sobbing at the end with the players singing YNWA with the whole stadium and especially the moment camera cut to Kenny.

You're saying we're not capable of repeating this? Away the heathen! Shun the non-believer!

Just listening to the BBC commentary again.

It was great in the 60s and 70s when reception faded in and out, particularly when playing behind the Iron Curtain.

Long time to wait to see the highlights!

I watch this weekly. In every language possible.

Would be so sweet if we could do something similar to Real Madrid

I mean we smashed them 4-0 in 2009 (5-0 on aggregate)

[Red Beret]

I was just reading that Liverpool's 4-0 demolition of Barcelona was the most watched YouTube video in the UK in 2019. 

I've lost count of the number of videos I watched.    Think my favourite was the one in the Spanish bar with the fat bird shouting "Messi, puta!" whilst the lone red in the background tries not to laugh in case he gets himself lynched.

There's a special value in doing a 'remontada' back to a spanish team.. it burns it on their minds forever

For sure, but them being the fickle most arrogant fans there are on the planet, they already forgot about it. That's the added value of a remontada haha

We were unlucky the first leg, chances we missed, couple of spawny goals then the Messi free kick, 3-0 in the first leg  flattered them

[SpionBob]

I never re-watched the first leg but I have seen the second leg many times!!!

[Indomitable_Carp]

I have those Russian highlights downloaded where you can turn off the commentary so it is just the crowd volume. I've watched it so many times I'm almost embarrassed! That match is a highlight of watching footy that I think will struggle to ever be topped.

Funny enough, I said to my lad that he would tell his grand kids about this game as we came home that night. He is 15 and yet to have children . I also said that he should play me Trents Corner as I lie on my deathbed because of the happiest memories it will give us.

[vblfc]

Love that this thread is top of the pile on Christmas morning. Still loving Trent’s mad corner, Gini’s super sub, Div tearing up Barca. Robbo messi ng, Love it.  Happy Christmas!!!!!

The Anfield game in particular feels like a moment of shared hysteria, the kind of game you watch through the prism of the crowd, the whole spectacle framed by their reactions.

It’s no secret Anfield does this to people. Pep Guardiola calls it “that place”, and seems more spooked every time he goes back, a man who has talked himself into seeing ghosts. For all the myth-making, you have to admit he’s got a point.

Perhaps there’s a science to it, the way the Anfield noise reverberates back across those tight single-tier stands. Perhaps it’s geography. Travel to Liverpool across the country and there is a feeling of the land falling away as you get closer, arriving at a kind of end point in that low grid of streets.

Science, geography, whatever. The end result is the same – Anfield does weird things to people.

The night before the Barcelona game had brought another note of drama, Vincent Kompany punting the ball past Kasper Schmeichel at the Etihad Stadium to give Manchester City a narrow but decisive-looking Premier League win.

It didn’t seem to have affected the vibe around the ground. Quite the opposite. It still felt like the witching hour. Anfield was a beautiful tableau before kick-off: the red shirts, the deep green of the stage, the powder blue as the light faded above the lip of the stands.

It is easy to forget Liverpool had a significantly weakened team, with no Mo Salah and no Roberto Firmino. The opening goal after seven minutes came at the end of a move involving Joël Matip, Jordan Henderson and Divock Origi who, for all their many qualities, are not players Spain’s elite clubs will have spent their pre-season anxiously studying. But how will we stop Matip? But they did for Barcelona all the same.

A 1-0 half-time lead felt like a foothold. The game changed completely between 54 and 56 minutes, as Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice. The first was made by Trent Alexander-Arnold, and involved giving the ball away in midfield then simply smashing through Jordi Alba to get it back, before pinging a cross into the six-yard box. The second one was a power-header into the corner.

At which point the night fell apart. People leapt and span around and tried to stand on things. The moon seemed to scroll backward through the sky. In the row of seats in front of me Jamie Carragher jumped around beating on the desks, combination-punching the air, hopping about like a seal chasing a beach ball. Which seemed like a fair point well made in the circumstances.

The fourth goal, the clincher, contained acting. Liverpool had a corner kick down below where we were sitting. Alexander-Arnold walked away nonchalantly, shoulders drooped – hmmm, where am I going? – then ran back suddenly and smacked the ball into the path of Origi, the acting, really quite good acting, all part of the pass.

First goal was a heavy dose of Mane as well.

Has to be the greatest night at Anfield ever right?
