Shortly after the final whistle at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Tuesday night social media was a jubilant space for Liverpool fans.
A Luis Diaz-inspired second-half comeback saw the Reds overturn a 2-0 deficit at the break to win 3-2, progressing to the Champions League final, their third under Jurgen Klopp, with a 5-2 aggregate success over Villarreal.
And among those to express their delight on social media was basketball icon and all-round sporting phenomenon LeBron James. He is a man whose links with Liverpool stretch back to when he acquired a two percent stake in the club in 2011 as part of a move by owners Fenway Sports Group to get James to sign up to their management team.
