Liverpool 5-2 AS Roma: 5 Talking Points

#1 It's not over!

A gigantic second leg awaits us

Had it been 5-0 at the end of the final whistle, Liverpool players and fans alike would have already booked their tickets to Kiev. But two late goals have somewhat dampened the mood around to what is a stunning European victory for the Reds.

Scoring five in a Champions League semifinal is unheard of. Liverpool sensed the opportunity in the first half and went for the jugular. Klopp's men ran riot until the final 10 minutes of the game. But those last ten minutes have given AS Roma a ray of hope.

A belief that they can repeat the Barcelona feat and score three goals in the second leg. The tie that was looking finished when Firmino scored the fifth came alive when Perotti scored Roma's second. At the final whistle, the away end looked to be in a joyous mood more than the home support.

The Liverpool players know that they have missed a trick by letting Roma crawl back into the game. Virgil Van Dijk was disappointed in his post-match talk. His reaction echoed the opinion of the Liverpool supporters.

This tie is not over! The Giallorossi will now give their all in the second leg to score three more goals and do the unthinkable. As for Liverpool, they just need calm heads in defence and one away goal to seal the deal and enter the Champions League final for the first time in 13 years!
