Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard, Ian Rush, Bruce Grobbelaar... Liverpool's history is full of players who made it famous over the decades. But this time, Reds fans honored Divock Origi, for the goal he scored, closing out a sensational comeback, and sending the Reds to the Champions League final.

Divock Origi did it again against Tottenham to clinch the Scousers' sixth Champions League trophy. Since then, Origi has made a place for himself in the hearts of the fans, without being able to do so on the pitch. With his contract with Liverpool coming to an end, the Belgian striker has already announced his departure.

Reds boss Jürgen Klopp declared his love for the former Lille man: "I hope Div gets a special farewell. For me he will always be a Liverpool legend and it has been a pleasure to work with him. He is one of the most important players I have ever had." While in advanced talks with AC Milan, Divock Origi should soon take on a new challenge in Italy after spending seven years in England.

Origi's goal and the greatness that followed

While you can question your own parameters on what makes the "best" goal, no one can argue about the sheer emotion that came with Divock Origi scoring Liverpool's fourth goal in the comeback win over Barcelona, setting up European glory for the Anfield crowd.
