In another season, the daunting challenge of recovering a two-goal deficit against a team of the stature of Real Madrid would be accompanied by an even greater sense of anticipation.

What better opportunity, after all, to add to the roll-call of memorable Liverpool comebacks in Europe, epic battles that reach back via the astonishing 4-0 defeat of Barcelona two years ago to the 1977 meeting with St Étienne and beyond.
