Liverpool has once again showed that they are the master of COME BACKS as they win comprehensively against Marseilles in must win tie to proceed to next stage of Champions league. The way Liverpool played this time brought a sense of Deja-vu as in 2005 when they won the cup coming back from 3-0 down to A.C.Milan

In 2004/05, Liverpool went into Matchday 6 needing a comprehensive victory over Olympiakos to reach the round of 16. The Reds were behind 1-0 at halftime and even though they equalized quickly after the restart, were set to miss out until goals in the last ten minutes from Neil Mellor and Steven Gerrard

This time around, Rafa Reds found themselves in the same position, needing a win on Matchday 6 to move on to the knockout round. After Matchday 3, Liverpool looked dead, but two wins kept their qualifying hopes alive heading into Tuesday night’s match with Group A foe Marseille.

as opposed to doing it the hard way as they did against Olympiakos, Liverpool thought they’d put the result beyond doubt early on to get a headstart on their celebrations. Just over three minutes in, it was 1-0 in favor of the visitors, after Steven Gerrard bundled home the rebound after his penalty was saved. Less than eight minutes later, it was 2-0, after Fernando Torres found the back of the net for his third Champions League goal and 12th overall of the campaign. A shell-shocked Marseille had no reply for Liverpool’s dominance, and a 4-0 victory for Rafa’s Reds was more than enough to send them through to the round of 16. The Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard even missed a penalty in 3rd minute of gameplay,but made up for it by scoring in very next minute
