Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum both scored twice to complete a remarkable 4-3 aggregate victory.Neal was part of the Liverpool side who beat St Etienne in the third round of the 1977 competition where they also needed to come from behind to win.They were 1-0 down from the first leg after being outclassed in France.Kevin Keegan drew them level early on but a precious away goal for the visitors meant the Reds needed two goals at Anfield.Ray Kennedy got one before supersub David Fairclough scored the winner with six minutes left.

Neal added: I think it overwhelms the St Etienne night that Kevin Keegan said to me we grew up that night Phil. It brings it back.But that overcharged that night we had with St Etienne. Well done to the boys. To beat Barcelona 4-0 is a dream come true.Sitting next to Ray Clemence last night, I was certainly quite tearful to hear them sing and the players to remain on the pitch was quite emotional.Weve played so well in the league as well, it reminds me of our days when we were chasing doubles and trebles. Neal also feels Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp deserves a trophy for what he has done at the club.They look set to miss out on the Premier League title, unless Manchester City slip up at Brighton, despite being on 94 points with one game to go.We knew we played better away from home to maybe deserve a goal or two, Neal added.Well done to the boys. The belief the manager instils in them is wonderful. I could play for him now.I would just like Mr Klopp to pick up a trophy. He deserves it with his team, the effort and energy he gets out of his players.Liverpool will play either Ajax or Tottenham in the Champions League final.Tune into talkSPORT this eveningto hear full commentary of their semi-final second leg clash, live from Amsterdam!
