LIVERPOOL stunned the world of football after overturning a 3-0 first leg defeat to Barcelona to reach the Champions League final.
Divock Origi and Georgino Wijnaldum scored twice apiece as the Reds secured a stunning 4-0 victory against the Spanish champs.
The magical night at Anfield has understandably made the headlines across the world.
And Barca's pain has been heightened by deservedly scathing assessments in their homeland.
Spanish newspaper Sport described their elimination as the "biggest embarrassment in history" and that it was the Catalans' "darkest day".
It goes on to label them tumbling out of Europe's elite competition as "unforgiving".
BARCELONA BLOODBATH
Marca went with "historic failure" whileMundo describes Barcelona as "soulless", and that the 4-0 defeat is a "death knell" for the team.
The paper also described conceding when Origi cleverly flicked home Trent Alexander-Arnold's quick corner as "ridiculous".
AS labelled it as a "Barcelona bloodbath", while A Bola decided to be complimentary to the victors and the "miracle of Anfield.
And other European newspapers followed that same line.
French newspaper L'Equipe, known for their critical lines, focused on "Bonkers Reds" and not how terrible Barcelona were.
HISTORY REPEATS FOR BARCA
And in Italy, Gazzetta dello Sport called Jurgen Klopp's troops "crazy Liverpool" while pointing out that "Messi is at home".
Tuttosport called the Premier League side "legendary".
Ernesto Valverde's side went into the tie with a comfortable three-goal lead butunbelievably crashed out.
The incredible scenes mirror last season's quarter-finals where the Catalans were toppled after a 3-0 defeat to Roma, having won the first leg 4-1.
Liverpool were all-but out following Lionel Messi's masterclass at the Nou Camp.
But Origi gave the Reds some hope with an early strike before Wijnaldum's quickfire double levelled the tie.
Incredibly, Klopp's side weren't done and Origi added his second from a clever corner to send the hosts through to the final.
