We did spank you 4 nil so definitely not impossible.


Didn't Barca make a 4 goal comeback against PSG a few years before that?


We put 4 past you without any dives or gifted penalties unlike the Barca PSG comeback where Suarez dived.
You forget that Robertson should have been sent off early on for hitting Messi. And as for your famous atmosphere, well someone needs to tell Klopp about it because he has been begging the fans to make some noise all season.

Not nearly enough for being sent off. Robbo just showed a bit of aggression and passion. Loved it! Messi has done much worse recently and hasn't even recieved yellow cards lmao.


Anfield's atmosphere has been rated by rival fans, players and managers as the best in Football. Every stadium had days when you think the atmosphere is overrated but on a big European night or Derby day Anfield's atmosphere is legendary.

Robertson should not have been sent off.

Would think with such passionate fans would have more than 1 league title in 30 years.

It wasnt the crowd.. it was another Barca collapse when pressure on as had been the case virtually every year since Pep left bar 2015.

Fans don't play Football or win trophies for the club over an entire season.

Fans can create an intimidating atmosphere in the biggest moments and cheer the team on to give their best. That's it.


If fans could win trophies, Celtic who have great fans wouldn't embarass themselves in Europe for decades. :lol:

You will never see the fans at Anfield bouncing up and down like they do all game at Buli stadiums or lots of La Liga stadiums.

You will never see even a drum at Anfield , which is pretty much mandatory across Europe and you even get one at Highbury, although the guy doesn't know how to use it.

Anfield has been outsung at home by pretty much every set of European away fans this season. Union Saint Gilloise fans made all the noise in the last game. They will be outsung by whoever they draw in the next round, that's a certainty.

Klopp has been the first one to criticise Anfield atmosphere this season. Is constantly getting angry at all the plastics in the crowd, more than any other manager. Has become a recurring theme of his throughout the seasons.

A big massive myth is the Anfield atmosphere.

Anfield is quite overrated. Only time those fans even stand up is when they're winning.
Back in my late teens and early 20's before life got in the way, I used to travel home and away watching Villa and I have to agree.

On a Champions League night, the atmosphere is fantastic. Both times I went there in the league, apart from YNWA pre-kick off (which was impressive tbf), there was no atmosphere at all.

Arteta:

“No, because it is very difficult to beat them,” he told Marca when asked if Liverpool’s comeback surprised him.

“Also, in my playing career, Anfield was the only ground where in which I had the feeling of ‘pájara’, of being stuck.

“It happened to me with Arsenal, and we conceded five… You say: ‘I do not know what’s going on, stop the game, please, because I do not know where I am’.

“It’s hard to explain, but it never happened to me anywhere other than Anfield. Barça surprise me by the form of some of their goals, but at Anfield you can concede five without knowing.

“Neither in Spain nor in Greece or Germany did I have that feeling. Not even in Old Trafford.”

But but Armchair experts here disagree so it has a shit atmosphere. Worst in Europe. True story.
