The most optimistic of them was not expecting a stunning 4-0 win over Barcelona on Tuesday night, but Reds star Mohamed Salah, who watched the game from the stands because of injury, was one of the few who believed in winning. He wore a shirt that said "Never give up."

"It was unbelievable, last season we qualified for the final in Rome, so we could not enjoy it like Anfield," he said on the official website of the Liverpool club. "Now we qualify at home, so it was great. The final in a row is incredible, I hope we win this season. "

The Premier League top scorer is ready to take part in the game against Wolverhampton at Anfield on Sunday, and Liverpool need to win in the hope that the Manchester City side will stumble by the side of the away game with Brighton, to win the Reds title.

The return leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona was the first Reds game in which Salah did not play this season after being ruled out of a head injury in the Premiership game against Newcastle United.

The Premier League lead the table with 95 points, just one point ahead of Liverpool, one round ahead of the curtain on the tournament.
