Liverpool 4, Dortmund 3 (5-4 agg): Reds Complete Stunning Comeback
So I've been a Liverpool fan about as long as I've been a Union fan, and let me tell you this was an amazing game. I was lucky enough to watch about the last 15 minutes of the game and I was able to see the game winning goal. Good stuff. Jurgen Klopp has them play great soccer. He's no Jim Curtin, but he's still pretty good.
That's all from me today. Have a good Friday and before you know it the weekend will be here.
