The Impact Of Anfield Stadium

Anfield Stadium under the floodlights is something extremely special as some of the most memorable moments has happened here. The more recent years has seen an incredible Europa League fixture against Borussia Dortmund - culminating in a Dejan Lovren header in front of the Kop to see the Reds progress to the final.

Although, the most memorable moment has to be the Champions League second-leg clash against Barcelona. Coming into the second leg, the reds found themselves 3-0 down, and in order to progress they would need to score four goals without conceding.

During the first half, Liverpool were attacking the Anfield Road End, leading them to acquire a goal by Origi following a blocked shot by Jordan Henderson. Going into the second half, the work was cut out for Liverpool as they needed to obtain another three goals without conceding. Fortunately, they were attacking The Kop end and harnessing the new mantra of ‘Never Give Up.

Alas, following a substitute of Wjinaldum for an injured Andrew Robertson - Wjinaldum was able to score a brace - equaling the scoreline to 3-3. What transpired after the equaliser has gone down in Liverpool as the ball went out for a corner kick.

Fellow Scouser, Trent Alexander-Arnold stepped over the ball and went to walk away to let Shaqiri take the kick himself. Upon closer inspection, Alexander-Arnold spotted all of the defending Barcelona players idling and not paying attention, allowing him to take a quick corner and finding the feet to Divock Origi was able to secure a brace. This without a doubt has been one of, if not the greatest night at Anfield Stadium.
