00:00As each soul-crushing goal was slammed into the back of the net, their hopes of reaching the
00:04finals were getting completely torn apart. And no matter how close Liverpool got, they didn't
00:10score a single goal and they lost the game 3-0. The Barcelona home crowd roared as Liverpool hung
00:16their heads in disappointment. Liverpool did still have one more chance for redemption against
00:21Barcelona at Liverpool's home stadium. But in the UEFA Champions League, winners are determined by
00:27the total score across the two matches. So for Liverpool to make it to the finals, it wouldn't
00:32be enough for them to just win the next match. They would have to win it by four goals. Despite
00:37the humiliation at Barcelona's home ground, Liverpool still had a shred of hope that they
00:42could make a comeback. But when their top scorer, Mo Salah, suffered a concussion in a match against
00:47Newcastle, the odds that Liverpool would be playing for the cup became even slimmer. But no matter how
00:52unlikely a comeback seemed, as Liverpool entered their home stadium for their second match against
00:57Barcelona and they felt the energy and belief of their fans belting out the team's anthem,
01:02that small shred of hope that Liverpool had transformed into a renewed, unwavering belief.
01:07They were going to make it to the finals, no matter what it took. So as the match kicked
01:13off, they got to work. And it wasn't long before they started hacking away at Barcelona's lead.
01:18They scored once.
01:19And in by De Boca Regi. And Liverpool have scored early.
01:23And then they scored twice.
01:25It's in. It's Ginny Wijnaldum for Liverpool.
01:28And by now, Barcelona were clearly getting nervous. Their keeper jumped on the ball,
01:33gripping onto it in a desperate attempt to waste some time. But Ginny wasn't having it.
01:37Oh, there's panic now.
01:38And then, only two minutes later, Ginny put the ball past the keeper once again.
01:44Oh my goodness gracious! The unthinkable! The unbelievable!
01:50Liverpool are level from three down against Barcelona!
01:54With only 11 minutes left on the clock, Liverpool had equalised the aggregate score.
01:59Both teams were absolutely exhausted and Barcelona couldn't believe they'd fumbled the lead this badly.
02:04They were clearly rattled. And perhaps that explains what happened next.
02:09Trent Alexander-Arnold secured a corner kick for Liverpool. However, as he placed the ball,
02:14ready for his teammate to come in and take the corner kick, he looked to his right. And that's
02:18when he saw De Boca Regi. A lone red shirt among the flock of Barcelona players who were now standing
02:25around flat on their feet, seemingly just waiting for Liverpool to get into position. But Regi had his back
02:31turned, and Trent couldn't risk letting Barcelona wake up to what he was planning. So, Trent hammered the ball
02:37along the ground into the box, and he hoped for the best.
02:40Go on, take it, Regi!
02:41Regi! Yes!
02:42Regi! Yes!
02:43Yes!
02:45The Champions League final!
02:46And as the team continued on to the finals, there was absolutely no stopping the momentum from this comeback.
02:52And after a 14-year drought after the miracle at Istanbul, Liverpool once again won the Champions League.
