That first half performance was one of the best we've produced in the whole Klopp era. In the second, we controlled the game as well as you possibly can vs Man City from the 1st goal until stoppage time. Horrible last few minutes, but into another final ???

“Well done Reds, proud of the red men.” – —- on Facebook.
In the 3 games LFC have played City this season we’re up 6-5 on agg.
These are the best 2 teams in the world!! ??????

Very much deserved. Took our foot off second half, tried to manage the game and it was never really in doubt.
Another final for this brilliant football team and manager #MCILIV

Mane and Diaz were exceptional…

Luis Diaz's enjoyment in relentlessly terrorising markers with his blend of panache and pure street football smarts is some viewing. Tireless off the ball too.

Mané has lost a bit of pace, but he's repurposed himself as a 9 brilliantly quickly. And the team don't lose speed on the wing cause Diaz is there.

Mané my Man of the Match. Not just fur his goals but his movement, competing in duels, acting as a fulcrum by dropping in to develop play etc. Thought Thiago, Diaz, Fabinho and Konate were all very good.

Luis Diaz was an absolute bargain.
— Leanne Prescott (@_lfcleanne) April 16, 2022
Diaz is incredible, City are so shook every time he gets the ball. Always produces something, so glad he got an opportunity from the start today

There was also lots of love for Thiago…
Masterclass from Thiago in the midfield today, what a player? #LFC

Thiago Alcântara
That’s the tweet.

Wembley redemption for Thiago, who clearly isn’t human.

The quadruple is still on…
The quadruple is still on!!

Quadruple is still on, treble is off – but every chance we'll meet again in Paris #LFC #FACup #MCILIV

Quadruple is still on; their treble isn’t.
These matches are at the literal pinnacle of the sport.
And the Reds are fucking mustard.
