Naby Keita rips off recovery pad in celebration at Liverpool's epic Barcelona win

Where did you watch it?

Whether you were a Liverpool fan at Anfield, a Reds supporter elsewhere in the world or just a football fan who was watching on in disbelief, Liverpool's epic comeback against Barcelona is surely going to be one of those "where were you when?" moments.

Given no chance after their 3-0 first leg defeat, and then even less of one when it was confirmed that both Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino would sit out the game through injury, Liverpool somehow, unbelievably, unfathomably won the match 4-0 to advance to the Champions League final 4-3 on aggregate in what were the wildest scenes ever seen at Anfield.

And it wasn't just Salah and Firmino missing either.

Injured midfielder Naby Keita was another who sat out the game after he picked up a thigh injury in the first leg.

And the Guinean shared a brilliant video of him on his Instagram Story after the braces from Divock Origi and Gini Wijnaldum sent the Reds through to the final.

Sitting on the floor of his living room, Keita could barely watch the dying moments of the match, doing so through his hands.

Then the full-time whistle went he leapt to his feet and ripped off the recovery pad he had on his injured thigh, before hopping around in celebration in time with his teammates.

It is extremely unlikely that Keita will be back fit in time for the Madrid final on June 1, but Salah and Firmino will be ready.
