Barcelona striker Luis Suarez said his side “looked like schoolboys” for Liverpool’s winning goal in the Champions League semi-final second leg.
The Reds won 4-0 at Anfield, with Divock Origi scoring the winner from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s quick corner, to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit.
“We have to be ready for all the criticism that is going to rain down on us now,” Suarez said. “We are very sad, we are in a lot of pain.”
Barca had looked in control after winning 3-0 at the Nou Camp. Origi gave the Reds early hope at Anfield, and half-time substitute Georginio Wijnaldum scored two quickfire goals to level the tie.
The winner came while Barca’s defence were still getting ready for a corner, which Alexander-Arnold took quickly allowing the alert Origi to pounce and score. “For their fourth goal we looked like schoolboys,” said former Liverpool player Suarez, who was booed all night by his old fans.
