Way to go, Liverpool!

I was flipping through channels a couple of hours ago when I saw the beginning of the 2nd half of Liverpool's Champion's League match against Barcelona at the Nou Camp in Spain. With Barca having the home court advantage for the first leg of their match-up, you had to give the defending champions the upper hand.

So when I saw the score to be 1-1, I felt there was a chance. Even a draw would be acceptable to some degree. After all, it was Barcelona. But at the 74th minute, a lapse in defense by Barcelona gave Liverpool the lead, as Riise smashed the ball into the back of the Barca goal to give Liverpool the lead! Which they managed to keep the rest of the way, despite a few scares, giving them the all-important away win as they head to England for the second leg of their match-up on March 6.

Good luck, Liverpool!!!
