Liverpool have been through heavy losses and have been trailing the opposition's score in the first half in the past before doing an absolute comeback. Be it in the Premier League when Liverpool managed to beat Norwich 5-4 or the European competitions against Dortmund where they ended up beating the latter 4-3 to qualify for the finals of the Champions League of the season 2017/2018, the Reds have shown a knack for getting the job done late on in the game.

Who can forget the 2005 Istanbul Champions League final when Liverpool made an impressive comeback after trailing 3-0 to AC Milan only to later win the trophy after penalty shootout? This mid-week as Barcelona travels to Anfield, they would have to beware of a comeback from the wounded Liverpool.
