“Liverpool’s comeback was incredible, with technical and physical differences that moved me,” tweeted Batistuta.

“Despite some big absences and opponents like Barcelona, their winning mentality transformed them into lions.”

The Reds will face Tottenham Hotspur or Ajax, who are 1-0 up from the first leg of their semi-final, at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium on June 1.
