From outsiders to favourites - Remarkable odds Liverpool upset with stunning win against Barcelona in Champions League

Liverpool were a massive 66/1 best price to beat Barcelona 4-0 on Tuesday ahead of the game at Anfield.

Incredibly Jurgen Klopp's side did just that to qualify for back-to-back Champions League finals.

It was 18/1 before the game that Klopp’s side could do the unthinkable and qualify, but 69% of bets in the ‘to qualify’ market were on Liverpool, with some punters perhaps knowing something that the wider footballing public didn’t. 

If Liverpool end up winning the Champions League, then any punters who got on at the end of the semi-final first leg will be toasting some outrageous fortune. 

You could have got 20/1 on a sixth European crown at that time, and even the most ardent of Liverpool fans might have called you crazy.

Spurs or Ajax will await in the final but whoever does get through might just have the feeling that it’s Liverpool’s year, for real this time. They're now 1/2 to lift the trophy in Madrid.

Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: “They did it, they actually went and did it.

"Liverpool are 90 minutes away from their sixth Champions League and every single fan and player won’t have forgotten 12 months ago in Kiev. 

"It could be the ultimate redemption story."
