Roma 4-2 Liverpool - All the best photos as Reds reach Champions League final

Liverpool progressed to the Champions League final with a 7-6 aggregate victory over AS Roma on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp’s side led twice in their semi-final second leg at Stadio Olimpico following goals from Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum, but lost 4-2 on the night.

However, their 5-2 win in last week’s first leg was enough as Klopp’s side face Real Madrid in the final in Kiev on May 26.

Mane put Liverpool ahead early on with left-footed finish, only for Dejan Lovren’s attempted clearance to canon back off James Milner and into Loris Karius’ net.

Wijnaldum’s 26th-minute header put the Reds back in charge as Klopp’s side entered the break holding a 2-1 advantage.

Edin Dzeko scored seven minutes into the second period to give Roma a glimmer of hope, before Radja Nainggolan scored twice late on.

But the Reds saw out the game to reach their first Champions League final since 2007.
