We were very dominant that evening,
we played very well.
But despite playing very well, we lost 3-0.
It felt as though we performed and deserved more in the game,
but unfortunately we were going back losing the game 3-0.
It was special to play against Messi.
I've said it before - I think he's the best player in the world.
And that was the reality.
We created some good chances to score,
unfortunately we didn't take them and we were punished at the other end
with some quality goals from their side.
We had to believe.
I did, 100 per cent.
The manager spoke to us before the second leg and he started with the line,
"The task ahead, normally, is impossible,
"but because it's us, there's a chance we can do something special."
If we're being brutally honest, we knew it was very, very slim chances
of anything happening, but we always knew the fans would be there for us.

Barcelona, led by Lionel Messi, 3-0 up.
This is Liverpool though.
Can Jürgen's men rise against any every obstacle in front of them tonight?
The day of the Barcelona game, I felt at peace.
I had a feeling we could do it.
You almost felt like Robbo's got under his skin a little bit, he was a little bit affected by it,
which is something that you rarely see.
To get the better of him is something good to do.
And from the start, we've battered them.
Probably should have scored, tried to slot it in the bottom corner
but the keeper saved it and thankfully Divock was there for the tap-in.
The ball come into my right foot and it was just about putting it in the net.
I think from that moment the lads believed that we did have a chance.
I've just tried to pick out someone in the box.
I think it's took a decent deflection and ran into the path of Gini,
and he's finished really nice.
I think at that moment everyone really started to believe and it gave us a lot of momentum
going into the next few minutes.
YES!
This is unbelievable!
This is delirium!
Anfield, have you ever heard noise like this?
Of course we were delighted with the goals
but we also knew there was still a lot of time left in the game,
so we needed to be focused and needed to defend properly with everything,
and we managed to find one more goal.
Shaq shouted me and said he wanted to take it,
and as he's walking over and I'm walking away from the ball,
I've looked across into the box and I've seen Divock.
I just felt like I should look back to Trent and see if he would do something.
He played it by instinct.
No-one's looking, hopefully he'll see it and be able to finish it,
and it paid off massively for us.
Trent's vision and imagination to take the corner so quick,
in that moment of the game when we needed a goal, was amazing really.
I was looking at the ref and the linesman,
and it's one of them where you don't really believe what's just happened.
You feel like it's too easy,
a goal like that shouldn't happen in the Champions League semis, second leg.
You look around, you see the crowd,
you know what it means for us scoring to make it 4-0,
there's so much emotion.
When the final whistle went, obviously a moment of joy.
I think that game mentally and physically was obviously demanding.
We try to leave everything on the pitch every time we play football,
so I needed a bit of help to get back up onto my feet!
It was an amazing feeling.
I couldn't believe what was happening that evening.
It was...something different, it was out of this world,
I think everyone was shocked, tears in their eyes, nobody could really believe it.
It was one of the most special nights,
we were singing together with the fans
and it meant a lot to us.
That moment at full-time when we were all singing You'll Never Walk Alone with the fans
was one of the best moments that I've had.
Without the fans, football is nothing, so it was incredible for us all to say thank you
and to celebrate with them.
The lads had nothing left, we'd given everything,
and thankfully we got our rewards for it.
We totally deserved it.
In the end, it was not a bad evening...
To get us to the final, and now we are in the final
we need to make sure we do it again, and more, if we want to win it.
♫ Allez, allez, allez
♫ We've conquered all of Europe, we're never gonna stop... ♫
