Divock Origi Explains How Champions League Exploits Have Changed How People See Him

Divock Origi is reaping the rewards of his new-found fame, as he is now recognised on a global scale, thanks to his vital goals for Liverpool in the Champions League last season.

The 24-year-old wrote himself into Liverpool folklore with a brace against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final, followed by his winning goal in the final victory over Spurs.

His end-of-season performances have catapulted the Belgian striker from relative obscurity to worldwide acclaim, which Origi discovered during the Reds' tour of America this summer.

In an interview with the Liverpool Echo, Origi discussed the change in his celebrity status as a result of his European heroics.
