Liverpool completed a mysterious 10 days for Manchester City as they suffer three defeats in a row to their fiercest rivals; losing twice to Liverpool in both legs of the Champions League encounter and a turnaround win for Manchester United from two goals down at the Etihad.
This is even as Roma caused a shock to Barcelona as they went ahead to defeat the Spanish giants 3 unreplied goals after losing 4-1 in the first leg.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were second best in the first 45 minutes of the second leg and deservedly so went behind in just 2 minutes of play after Virgil van Dijk gave away a stray pass and Liverpool was punished with a counter by Sterling and Gabriek Jesus.
Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah came from injury to punish City for his 39th goal of the season and Firmino sealed the victory for the Reds giving them their first semi final reach in 11 years.
Scenes in Manchester! 🎉🎉🎉
