Divock Origi (7', 79') and Georginio Wijnaldum (54', 56') each scored twice on Tuesday as Liverpool, in stunning fashion, overcame their series-opening 3-0 road defeat from last week by demolishing visiting Barcelona 4-0 in the second game of their UEFA Champions League semifinal series, enabling the Reds to take the series 4-3 on aggregate and advance to the June 1 final at Madrid's Wanda Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid.
Here are the happy Reds celebrating as they went on to complete their stunning comeback against Barca.
The Reds will make their second straight championship game appearance and will be gunning for their sixth continental club title, their first since 2005.
Liverpool will face the winner of the Ajax Amsterdam-Tottenham Hotspur series (Ajax lead 1-0 on aggregate after last week's series-opening road win in London).
For the first time since 2013, a club from outside Spain will win the Champions League title.
