Mumford & Sons stopped their gig in Paris after Liverpool scored their

Liverpool faced the Catalan side in the second-leg of the Champions League semi final following a 3-0 defeat in the first-leg last week.

After half time, Georginio Wijnaldum' s two successive goals proved Liverpool's ability to turnaround the tournament.

What Liverpool fans were chanting at Barcelona's Luis Suarez during Champions League semi final  

According to those at the concert Marcus stopped the concert and told crowd: “Guys, Liverpool is 3-0. What if I take a 20 minutes break and then I keep playing all night long? Fine with that?”

One tweeted: "Marcus Mumford, during the show, which says: Guys we are 3 to 0, if we suspend 20 minutes and then play all night?!", followed by heart-eyes.

Liverpool soared to victory with a 4-0 finish, going through to the final on 4-3 aggregate.
