Liverpool supporters have been reacting as Barcelona players are still suffering ‘post-traumatic stress’ after their Champions League semi-final exit at Anfield last season, according to Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness).
The Catalan giants went into the second leg on Merseyside 3-0 up but the Reds dramatically battled back and knocked out the Spanish champions from the competition.
Braces from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum was enough to send Liverpool to Madrid where they went on to win their sixth title after beating Tottenham at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Barcelona are reportedly still in a ‘state of shock’ four months on from Liverpool’s dramatic comeback victory.
One report claims certain Barcelona players are ‘paralysed four months on’ from suffering one of the ‘cruelest’ defeats in the club’s history.https://t.co/hNirf3Upz6

Ah well, on a positive note at least they’re over Roma doing the same to them the season before.
They got battered, deal with it. Wasn’t like they lost unfairly. They turned up thinking game over, and GOAT Messi bottled it, again. As he often does in big games.
