Liverpool advance to a second consecutive Champions League final, with a second-leg comeback against Barcelona.
The Reds overturned their 3-0 deficit from the Nou Camp with four goals unanswered on an electric night at Anfield.
Divock Origi, in for Roberto Firmino, tapped home from close range after Marc-Andre Ter-Stegen parried into his path.
In the second half, substitute Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice in 122 seconds to fully swing the momentum towards the hosts.
This quick brace from the Dutchman rattled the visitors, and there was little chance for them to steady the ship ans they were cuaght napping from a Liverpool corner for what proved to be the decisive goal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold's quick-thinking allowed Divock Origi to be found in space inside the six-yard box and convert past a dumbfounded Barcelona defence.
By now Anfield was rocking and the home fans stayed on their feet to cheer their side home in the closing minutes, with a shell-shocked Barca side unable to fashion any serious response.
The final whistle brought delirious celebrations on the pitch and in the stands, where the Reds supporters had played their part in an unforgettable match.

Lucas Moura's second-half hat-trick sent Spurs to their first ever Champions League final.
Spurs conceded early when Matthijs de Ligt converted from a corner after five minutes to double the aggregated lead.
Heung-Min Son hit the post before Hakin Ziyech curled the ball home after a perfect lay-off from Dusan Tadic.
At half-time Spurs were 3-0 down on aggregate, and maybe these semi-finals have proved that that is the most dangerous score to hold on to.
Moura scored a composed first, and pounced on a mistake from Lasse Schone for his second; the Dane took the ball from Andre Onana's hands, it fell kindly to the Brazilian who turned and shot into the far corner.
Onana then somehow kept out a Vertonghen header from close-range, before Moura completed his weak-foot hat-trick with a low shot in the 96th minute for a historic win.

Eden Hazard's penalty kick sent Chelsea to the Europa League, after the Blues and Eintracht Frankfurt couldn't be separated after 210 minutes across two legs.
The Belgian may have played his final match at Stamford Bridge, and converted after Kepa Arrizabalaga had saved Frankfurt's last two spot kicks from Martin Hinteregger and Goncalo Paciencia.
Chelsea had the advantage going into the home leg, with Pedro's away goal giving them the edge, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek put Chelsea 1-0 up on the night inside half an hour, with a cool finish into the far corner.
Soon after half-time, Luka Jovic converted from close range after a through ball by Mijat Gacinovic.
Chelsea's sluggish start to the second period continued, giving their German visitors chances to put the tie beyond doubt.
This carried on into extra time, as Sebastian Haller twice had headers from corners cleared off the line.
Cesar Azpilicueta looked to have won it late on, but the referee deemed he had taken the ball from Kevin Trapp's hands before finishing.
The Spaniard later missed in the shootout, before Kepa's heroics and Hazard scored the winner.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick for Arsenal, helping them to a 4-2 away win against Valencia.
A win in the Baku final gives them Champions League qualification - their last chance as they can't make the top four in the Premier League - while Unai Emery is looking for a record fourth Europa League win as a manager.
Kevin Gameiro scored from close range to put the hosts ahead, and in a week of the biggest comebacks, it looked like another was on the cards here.
Aubameyang soon turned the tie the way of the visitors, with a 20-yard volley before Alexandre Lacazette increased the Gunners' aggregate lead with a calm finish into the corner.
Four-time Europa League champion Gameiro scored a tap-in to level the score on the night, before Aubameyang scored from an Ainsley Maitland-Niles cross, and completed his hat-trick with a powerful strike into the top corner for an emphatic win.
It's Coming Home!
