Jurgen Klopp and Xherdan Shaqiri were still visibly overjoyed at reaching the Champions League final as they drove home from Anfield.

Divock Origi was another in high spirits having scored twice against Barcelona
Jordan Henderson drove his mother Liz home and seemed perfectly content after a hugely emotionally draining but satisfying night of work.
Two-goal hero Divock Origi appeared to be laughing as he cruised home and with good reason, having scored the goal that put Liverpool 4-3 ahead on aggregate.
Joe Gomez, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk were also pictured heading home, though perhaps Klopp’s men will struggle for sleep, still pumped full of adrenaline.
Georginio Wijnaldum was pictured indicating out of his window and the Dutchman can reflect on a brilliant game personally having scored twice off the bench.

After the game he told BT Sport: ‘After the game in Spain, we were confident we could score four at home.
‘Once again we showed that everything is possible in football. I was really angry at the manager that he put me on the bench but I had to do something to help the team when I came on.
‘We believe it from the start. People from outside (the club), they thought it was not possible but we still managed to do this.’

Jordan Henderson added: ‘I don’t think many people gave us a chance. We knew that it would be difficult but it was still possible for us.
‘The belief we’ve got in the changing room. At Anfield, we knew we could put on something special.
‘We wanted to start fast, we got an early goal which helped. We knew that if we gave everything, showed a bit of personality, a bit of heart (we could win).’
