Trent Alexander-Arnold has explained the thinking behind his amazing assist for Divock Origi’s winning goal against Barcelona on Tuesday night.
The 20-year-old defender created an unfathomable 79th minute decider as Liverpool came from three goals down to remarkably beat Barca 4-3 on aggregate and reach the final of the Champions League.

Georginio Wijnaldum and Divock Origi both scored twice
After an incredible effort saw the Reds haul the game back to be on level terms, a moment of magic from Alexander-Arnold gave Divock Origi the opportunity to win the tie.
In the 79th minute, Liverpool earned a corner and – before the entire Barcelona defence were awake to the situation – Trent fired a low ball in to Origi.
The Belgian smashed home from close range and fired Liverpool to the final.

“Honestly I think it was just instinctive,†Alexander-Arnold explained at full-time.
“It was just one of those moments where you just see the opportunity.
“It probably came at him [Origi] a bit fast, but he’s a top player, scored two goals for us tonight.
“It’s one of them where everyone will remember this moment.â€
The Englishman’s assist drew plenty of praise from across the football world with many branding him a ‘genius.’
