Liverpool striker Origi explains Barcelona winner

Liverpool striker Divock Origi has spoken about his famous winning goal in the Champions League against Barcelona last season.

Origi was the hero for the Reds as they overturned a 3-0 first leg deficit to win 4-0 and progress to the final last term.

They went on to win that final, and Origi scored the second of two goals in that game as well.

"It happened so quick. When it went in, even mentally it takes a while to realise (what happened)," he said on BT Sport.

"There are games when sometimes there is a lot in your head and you struggle to get in that zone, but that's one of the games where you're just in the zone and you're flowing and things instinctively happen easier.

"Maybe on a bad day the ball goes in the stands – and I don't think many people would blame me because it was quite a difficult ball – but it happened well, it clicked and it shows in which flow we really were as a team."
