There’s no argument about which match tops this list. 2-0 down in under 10 minutes, in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Liverpool’s task seemed next to impossible against Klopp’s former team Borussia Dortmund.

But Klopp and Liverpool staged one of the most dramatic comebacks ever witnessed at Anfield, scoring four second-half goals to snatch the victory in the dying moments. When Dejan Lovren bundled in James Milner’s cross, in injury-time, in front of the Kop, the entire arena erupted in joy and disbelief.

Dortmund had left Anfield shell-shocked with early goals from Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan. But the Reds slowly grew into the game as Divock Origi pulled one back early in the second half. But Marco Reus soon restored the two-goal margin with a cool finish.

Liverpool were left needing three goals with 25 minutes left. But the match was far from over yet. As Klopp said later, “You could feel it, hear it, smell it”. Coutinho made it two for the home side and Mamadou Sakho soon followed suit, burying a header past Weidenfeller in the 77th minute. And everybody knows what followed after.

The two teams put on a show that will be spoken about for ages to come. It took the fans back to that miraculous night in Istanbul when Liverpool came back from 3-0 down against AC Milan, to win the Champions League in 2005. It was a thrilling evening and the fans will hope there will be plenty more like that.
