Maybe Auxerre 1991 or Dortmund 2016, when Liverpool made a mockery of apparently insurmountable deficits. “The stadium seemed to know what would happen,” winced Dortmund’s manager Thomas Tuchel after Dejan Lovren scored an injury-time winner.

Those precedents – and the knowledge that Anfield is a unique microclimate – are sources of hope for Liverpool as they strive for another glorious comeback against Paris Saint-Germain tonight.There’s also a nagging fear that the only relevant precedent is last week’s first leg, when PSG ran Liverpool ragged and should have won by more than 2-0. Even the staunchest Kopite might concede that PSG are a class apart, and all logic says they will cruise into a semi-final against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.Oh, just one more thing: logic and European nights at Anfield don’t always see eye to eye.Kick-off 8pm.
