April 11, 2024 No Comments

In 2019, during a soccer match that had fans on the edge of their seats, Liverpool made an epic comeback against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League semi-final. They were down by 3 goals in the first game, but somehow, Liverpool won 4-0 in the second game at their home stadium, Anfield. My guess?
