Just to get the facts right, Origi wouldn't even make the first team today if Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino weren't ruled out. With these significant absentees, Jurgen Klopp chose Divock Origi in his attack against Barcelona, and well, he did not disappoint.

Origi started the comeback for Liverpool when he opened the scoring in the 7th minute and finished the comeback when he tapped in Liverpool's 4th goal in the 79th minute.

The 24-year-old might never become a regular starter for Liverpool considering their front three right now, but definitely he has written himself into Liverpool's history with his man of the match performance tonight.

Not just the goals, Origi made his presence felt everytime he got the ball in his feet in the Barcelona half, and Jordi Alba had a night to forget defending the Belgian.

It is a very rare feat to bag a man of the match award when Lionel Messi is present in the same match in top form, but Origi has managed to achieve it, and in what style!
