| Six days to the day ( May 7th), Liverpool were left for dead following a 3 - 0 drubbing at the hands of F.C Barcelona and Lionel Messi in Spain. Fast forward to kick off Tuesday, May 7th for the return leg of the UEFA Champions League semi final and the odds were against the English side given the fact that the Spanish Giants had a 3 goal advantage and the Jurgen Kloop's boys would need to score atleast 4 unanswered goals to advance to the June 1st final. Many fair weather fans (read United fans) and bookmakers doubted Liverpool's chances but Divoc Origi(the son of former Kenyan professional footballer, Mike Okoth Origi) and Georginio Wijnaldum consolidated an English side reeling from the absence of Egyptian striker, Mohammed Salah to contain the likes of Phillipe Coutinho and Luis Suarez (both former Liverpool players) as well football great Lionel Messi. Liverpool's win means that they will now face Victor Wanyama's Tottenham Hotspur who stunned Ajax with a 3- 2 win on the road on Wednesday. The final,will be the first all English affair since 2008 when Chelsea played and lost to Manchester United in Moscow.The game will be played at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain on Saturday June 1st 2019. updated: Wednesday May 8th Stay stuned for updates.....
