For me, when I think of football, I usually remember the perfect corner kick performed by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's right back, that allowed Divock Origi, a forward/winger, to score a goal against Barcelona. The match ended 4-0 for Liverpool.

That was one of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen in my life as a football fan! The best part is that this goal took Liverpool to the UCL final against Tottenham Hotspur and they won!
