Gini Wijdnaldum was probably the super substitution for Jurgen Klopp tonight.

The Dutch midfielder, who has probably played on every position on the left flank this season for Liverpool, scored two crucial goals in two minutes coming in for injured Robertson at the stroke of half-time.

Wijnaldum was apparently frustrated with Klopp's decision to bench him tonight against Barcelona when the team needed to be at their absolute best, but after the way in which the things have turned out, he might not hold the grudge against Klopp for a long time.

His first goal was probably a shot ter Stegen could have saved on a normal night in Spain, but his second goal from a corner delivered by Shaqiri was absolutely unstoppable from the distance he hit the header from.

If there were two man of the match trophies for tonight's game, Wijnaldum would be taking one home too.
