What Jurgen Klopp asked Andy Robertson after Divock Origi's iconic Liverpool goal against Barcelona

Few Liverpool fans will forget the club's famous 4-0 win over Barcelona in a hurry.

Arguably Anfield's greatest-ever night, Jurgen Klopp's side overturned a three-goal deficit against all odds to book their place in the final of the Champions League.

Still a surreal result to this day, Liverpool were able to keep the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at bay and scored four times without both Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino on the night.

Andy Robertson has now reflected on that special evening under the lights, maintaining that the Reds had the belief they could produce the unthinkable.

Asked if he truly thought it was possible, the Liverpool left-back said: "It's easy to answer that now, because it happened.

"But what I can say is the way we were in the changing room ten minutes before you go out for kick-off is something I've never seen. It was the focus, the way you could see everyone was pumped up for it."

The Scotland international was forced off at half-time during the match due to injury and replaced by Gini Wijnaldum, the player who scored the Reds' second and third goal against Barcelona.

And Robertson has revealed he missed both finishes from the Dutchman and that Klopp was facing the wrong way for Divock Origi's all-important tie-decider.

"I missed the second and third goal as I was in the shower. Somebody just kept on running in going 'Goal, goal!' I was trying to get ready as quick as I could," he told BT Sport.

"I went out at 3-0 and I remember when the fourth goal went in, the manager turned around to me and was like 'What happened?' He never saw it - I think Trent even took it too quickly for him!"

Liverpool, of course, went on to win the final of competition after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in Madrid, and Robertson has admitted the Reds always felt they could get the better of their Premier League opponents.

"Luckily we had the experience of the season before, and we did things a little bit differently leading up to it," he said.

"We were confident going into that game. We believed we were better than Tottenham and that, if we played to our potential, we would win that game.

"It won't go down as a classic Champions League final, but that night I will never forget."
