Down 3-0 after the first leg at the Camp Nou, Liverpool did the unthinkable at Anfield, turning around the tie with four answered goals in one of the greatest comebacks the Champions League has ever seen.

Here’s how social media reacted to the latest — and maybe most improbable — in a long line of magical European nights at Anfield…
