Liverpool’s 4-0 Champions League victory over Barcelona was the most popular video on YouTube for UK users in 2019, the platform has revealed.
One set of highlights of the game, which ensured Jurgen Klopp’s side reached the final stage of the competition, has attracted more than 9.8 million views globally since it was posted in May.
The footage - posted by BT Sport - topped the list of the video-sharing platform's top-trending content alongside other features including a feud between YouTubers and TV highlights from The Late Late Show with James Corden and Britain's Got Talent.
The Reds had been trailing by three goals from the first leg but two goals apiece from Divock Origi and game-changing half-time substitute Georginio Wijnaldum saw them progress to the final 4-3 on aggregate. They went on to lift the trophy for a sixth time after beating Tottenham 2-0.
