Shortly after Clement Lenglet's timely touch prevented Jordan Henderson from turning in Xherdan Shaqiri's low cross, the Reds captain drove into the Barcelona box and Marc-Andre ter Stegen could only push a tame shot to the feet of the waiting Origi.Alisson saved sharply from Messi and Philippe Coutinho as Barca began to click into gear, with Ter Stegen's 24th-minute stop from Andy Robertson of a more unorthodox variety. Liverpool's goalkeeper intervened crucially in first-half stoppage time to deny Jordi Alba after Messi sliced the hosts open on the break.Unlikely hero Wijnaldum entered the fray in place of the injured Robertson at half-time and Liverpool resumed on the front foot, Ter Stegen repelling Virgil van Dijk's instinctive backheel volley from Alexander-Arnold's cross. Alisson was also back into his work as Suarez sprung the Reds' offside trap – a stop that looked even more vital when Wijnaldum drove Alexander-Arnold's next delivery from open play through Ter Stegen's grasp. Barcelona were rocking, with memories of Rome – where they crashed out after holding a 4-1 first-leg lead - flooding back as Wijnaldum rose highest to emphatically convert Shaqiri's 56th-minute centre. Where Barca minds were muddled, Alexander-Arnold's was razor sharp and Origi pounced to leave Messi and his team-mates battered, bruised and beaten.</blockquote>
