The Reds secured their place in the last four of the Champions League by defeating Pep Guardiola’s side 5-1 on aggregate, with Tuesday’s 2-1 victory at Etihad Stadium coming after a 3-0 win in the quarter-final first leg last week.
Gabriel Jesus ignited City’s hopes of a fightback with a goal inside the opening two minutes, and the hosts then proceeded to pile the pressure on throughout the first half as they desperately sought to further chip away at Liverpool’s aggregate advantage.
A more aggressive away team emerged for the second half, though, and goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino duly turned the game on its head and rubber-stamped the Reds’ spot in Friday’s draw for the semi-finals.
