Who would take Divock Origi seriously? He was a joke. Liverpool signed world-class footballers and he was benched more often.
In fact, they loaned him out, then tried to sell him. No one would pay up so he stayed, a bit of depth? Why not. He’d never play. Except in their greatest moments of desperation, Jurgen Klopp turned to him and he answered the call.
First, he scored against Everton, then against Newcastle. He has been scoring late goals that usually leads Liverpool to victory.
His latest save is against Barcelona; Salah and Firmino were out due to injury. Perhaps this was another chance for him to showcase his potential.
But he did it, he scored the opening goal that brought Liverpool back to life.
His display was not bad. He kept on pushing Barca until he scored the last goal of the match courtesy of a corner kick from Alexander-Arnold.
The two goals that goals mean that Origi has a total of four in Europeans League- two against Borrusia Dortmund and two against Barcelona.
