25 minutes remaining, three goals required. Game over? Not on your life.
They compared it to Istanbul. Some people.
It was no Champions League final - and there'll probably never be a campaign like that - but the turnaround at Anfield on Thursday night was truly special. Magical.
Liverpool were dead and buried against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League quarter-final second leg. The supporters at home knew it. The players even looked like they knew it too. But the Kop didn't know it. They refused to know it.
And, inch by inch, the team lifted from the ashes and rose to greatness to record yet another famous night at Anfield. One of
The famous nights at Anfield.
With that though, there's adversity to overcome. Adversity in this case looked hilarious as 'Pool fans swung through the full range of emotions of a classic encounter during their 4-3 win on the night over Dortmund.

This was big.

It's been said a hell of a lot but this might just have been the best You'll Never walk Alone rendition of all time. You can visibly see some of the players letting this massive occasion get to them.

And the minute's silence was just something else. It was spine-tingling. It was perfect.

Still, there was a job to do and not everyone was certain that they had the tools to do it.
