Liverpool are into their second successive Champions League final after overcoming Barcelona with a stunning second-leg fightback on an epic 4-nil defeat at Anfield.

It is the first time since 1986, when Barcelona knocked out Gothenburg in the old European Cup, that a team have recovered a three-goal first-leg deficit to win a semi-final in the competition.

Liverpool have managed famous European fightbacks before, notably when they won the trophy for the fifth time in Istanbul in 2005.

In tonight’s game, Tottenham Hotspurs play their semi-final second leg against Ajax, looking to overturn a one-goal deficit.

Manchester United defender ERIC BAILLY will miss the final two games of the season and this summer’s Africa Cup of Nations after sustaining a knee injury in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

The Ivory Coast international injured his medial ligament in a collision with Chelsea midfielder MATEO KOVACIC during the second half.

The Africa Cup of Nations is from 21 June to 19 July in Egypt.

Ivory Coast are one of the favourites for the tournament and have been drawn in a group that also contains Morocco, South Africa and Namibia
