Origi was never Liverpool’s most consistent forward, but he was one of their most inevitable big-moment players. Perhaps Andoni Iraola's chaotic style could get the best out of him… Getty Images/Michael Regan/Premier League Divock Origi’s best moments in a Liverpool shirt5.

It really started during one of Jurgen Klopp’s first great European nights at Anfield.Liverpool were 2-0 down on the night and 3-1 down on aggregate against Borussia Dortmund in the 2016 Europa League quarter-final when Origi pulled them back into the tie early in the second half.It was the goal that made the impossible feel possible, before Philippe Coutinho, Mamadou Sakho and Dejan Lovren completed one of Anfield’s great modern comebacks.4. Newcastle late winnerThe 2018/19 Premier League title race was brutal, and Liverpool had no room for mistakes when they went to Newcastle in May 2019.With the game locked at 2-2 and the pressure rising, Origi came off the bench and helped force the late winner, flicking Xherdan Shaqiri’s free-kick in via Jamaal Lascelles.It kept Liverpool’s title push alive for one more day.

Champions League final goalIt is easy to forget just how tense the 2019 Champions League final felt before Origi sealed it.Liverpool had been ahead since Mohamed Salah’s early penalty, but the game was not truly over until Origi collected the ball in the box and fired a left-footed shot into the far corner.That goal confirmed Liverpool’s sixth European Cup. But Origi scored early, Georginio Wijnaldum added two more, and then came the moment from Trent Alexander-Arnold.“Corner taken quickly… Origi.”That goal made it 4-0, completed one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history and sent Liverpool to Madrid.
