Liverpool fans party into the night after dramatic win over Barcelona

Liverpool fans partied into the early hours after watching their team's incredible win over Barcelona to reach the Champions League final.

The five-time European champions will take on Ajax or Tottenham in Madrid on June 1 after digging deep to overturn last week's 3-0 first-leg defeat at the Nou Camp.

There was an incredible atmosphere inside a sold-out Anfield as fans watched their heroes produce one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history.

The celebrations continued into the night as supporters toasted a win that will go down in folklore.

Others started frantically planning their routes to Madrid as prices of flights rocketed following the unlikely victory.

Divock Origi put Liverpool ahead after just seven minutes and the hosts kicked on in the second half as Anfield witnessed a night that will live long in the memory.

Georginio Wijnaldum came off the bench to score a quickfire brace, before Origi turned home Trent Alexander-Arnold's smart corner to seal a 4-0 win and progress 4-3 on aggregate.

Klopp said: "It's a special night, very special. Winning against Barcelona is obviously one of the most difficult things in the world of football.
