Jamie Carragher hailed Liverpools stunning Champions League semi-final win over Barcelona as the clubs greatest ever night at Anfield.The Reds had an almost impossible task of overturning a 3-0 deficit from the first leg when they were beaten by a Lionel Messi brace and Luis Suarez’s lone goal.
Getty1Greatest night ever at Anfield! #LIVBAR @ChampionsLeague— Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) May 7, 2019Prior to the game, Barcelona had tweeted: We score, Liverpool need FIVE – and we’re going to get at least one… agreed? #LFCBara (1-0, agg 1-3).And that tweet came back to haunt them as they were mocked by Liverpool fans at full-time.Carragher quoted the tweet with the eyes emoji to poke fun at Barca, with the Reds instead progressing to play their second successive Champions League final.

Its personal to me, I was there as a kid watching and been there as a player. It brings back a lot of memories.They achieved something insurmountable in many respects. They lost [Roberto] Firmino and [Mohamed] Salah, they were unlucky in the last game, [Manchester] City had won last night, how they picked themselves up to produce that energy and quality is amazing.
