Football world bewildered by Liverpool's phenomenal rally
What's Spanish for "they bottled it"?
One season after their astonishing collapse against Roma in the Champions League quarterfinals, Barcelona disintegrated in the semifinals.
Liverpool reached a second straight Champions League final on Tuesday after their 4-0 win on Merseyside sensationally wiped out their opponents' 3-0 win a week prior.
Here is how Twitter reacted to a historic night at Anfield.
Origi's 79th-minute winner

Soccer Gods have Liverpool in their thoughts after the Vincent Kompany goal on Monday.

This has been a disgrace from Barca.

Shambolic defending by Barca. Ingenious attacking from Liverpool.

Alexander-Arnold, 20 years old. People will tell me it’s bad defending, I’m telling you it’s pure intelligence and vision.

Final whistle sounds
Bury me now.

A team of history. A team who have made European nights have a myth to it. Liverpool are a helluva team in Europe.

Incredible. What a side. #JoyUCL
How on earth do you go to sleep after that? I'd be up for a week.

Incredible performance by Liverpool. Kept Messi quiet and dominated throughout. Huge favourites, whoever they face in the final.

Absolutely astonishing. One of the greatest balls-out efforts I’ve EVER BLOODY SEEN. Jordan Henderson take a bow. Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Origi, Van Dijk, heck the whole bloody lot of them.THEY’VE STUFFED COURTINHO & SUAREZ’S BARCELONA 4-0. Did I say Jordan Henderson take a bow? #LFC

Goosebumps the size of pineapple chunks. Wow.

Whatever else these players go on to achieve, they will always have this. Some of the Liverpool players still holding their heads in their hands. They still can't believe they've done it.
