Liverpool made a historic comeback at home in the Champions League second leg against Barcelona after losing 3-0 in the first leg. Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum scored doubles and turned the score around. After the game, the Reds captain Jordan Henderson has revealed that he has been playing through injury. “I was struggling when I got a whack on the knee," said Henderson. "It was dead. The doctor said just keep it moving. "I managed to get to half time and I had a bit of treatment, took painkillers, all that stuff which helped.” “There was a jab and tablets. Both. Everything. I said: ‘just give us everything'.” he explained with a broad smile on his half time treatment. "So I managed to get through it and the crowd helped as well and keep us going. It was an amazing night and I am honoured to be part of it and contribute.” Now Liverpool waits to see who will be their opponent in the Champions League final, which will be held in Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on June 1st.
