LIVERPOOL not only sealed their place in the Champions League final with their two goals against Roma last night – they also smashed the all-time tournament scoring record.
The Reds lost 4-2 on the night, but still progressed to the final to take on Real Madrid with a breathless 7-6 aggregate victory.
