Corner Goal: Like a ball boy brought Liverpool into the final

The heroes of the evening are called Divoque Origi, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Georginio Wijnaldum and Jürgen Klopp. Always praised since last night, since this already historic 4: 0 of Liverpool FC over FC Barcelona. This game, which culminated in that absurd corner goal for the decisive 4: 0. A hit that actually belongs to the football field or in the county league. The peasant trick as a ticket to the Champions League final.

But there are also two supporting actors who played their role in this heroic piece around the corner in the 79th minute in Anfield. One is Carl Lancaster, the other is a 14-year-old boy from Leeds with the beautiful Oakley Cannonier, which is almost predestined for football.

Lancaster works as a coach at the Club Academy of Liverpool FC in Kirby, he is responsible among other things for the division of the ball boys. In this capacity, he had instructed the ball boys in Anfield to lay the ball before corner kicks against the Catalans especially quickly - because the English scouts had not escaped that the Barca professionals in the first leg in almost every standard situation once talked to the referee, instead of immediately focusing on the new game situation. That should take advantage of the Liverpooler. They did it.

Oakley Cannonier had obviously been listening to Lancaster very well. Before the decisive corner kick, he put the ball ready for action and even waved Liverpool professional Origi, he should remove a second ball that was still in the field, as soon as possible from the square.

Graeme Souness gave the ballboy his due on Virgin TV here in Ireland. "Give him a season ticket for next year". Got himself a little freeze frame and zoom too

Cannonier's youthful zeal helped trend Alexander-Arnold execute the curious corner kick so fast that the Barca defense was still completely taken by surprise. The end is known.

The Independent, who has written down this story, writes, "Whatever happens in his life from now on, he will remember his role in this most memorable Liverpool victory in his recent club history."

The Oakley Cannonier's dream may well be in the next round: Former Liverpool star Graeme Souness, as a TV expert on Virgin Media, has suggested giving the boy two seasonal tickets for the coming season - plus a ticket to the Champions League final in Madrid. The first reward for him was the same evening: Corner marksman Alexander Arnold posed with Cannonier for a selfie.
