When he scored against Tottenham in the final, I have never felt such release, I cried my heart out. Fourteen years between two CL titles, all sorts of memories running through my head, emotions running as high as possible - I will never, ever forget that moment. I hope he has a great career and a great life, he really gave us a lot to remember him by.

Tbf, Klopp caught less of the goal than you did! He didnāt have a fucking clue what had just happened! 
I was already in tears when Mo struck that penalty, knew that we couldnāt go on to lose that game after everything weāve been through. A shame for neutrals, but you knew it would be so hard for Spurs to turn it around. But yeah, then it was a long hot evening until Divockās goal. Never easy with us in finals, Iāve watched 22 and there was not a single one when you could relax after, say, 60-70 minutes. Win or lose, itās always drama.
Divockā¦ so many great or cult moments to remember.

Still donāt understand why weāve let him go on a free, heās easily worth 20-30m in todays market.
Such a humble guy, Will be loved by everyone at the club forever.
Thanks for sharing this still brings tears of joy

And what a finish! A lot of his finishes (like the Wolves winner) remind me of Fowler in the sense that even when youāre watching the replay youāre thinking āShit thatās cutting it close, is it actually gonna go in?ā
Incredible precision and calmness under intensely pressurised and tense conditions.

I think thatās what I value the most from him, not so much his technical ability or anything else. Heās mostly just in his own world, which is really helpful when you desperately need a goal in a big occasion. Itās the same to him as scoring the 5th against a non-league team. However, itās also costly to him personally since he doesnāt really seem to āelevateā his game or āshow desireā like many people want.
Thinking back to Lucasā first league game for us, the Merseyside derby, when he would have gotten a debut winner if not for I think it was Phil Nevilleās handball on the line. Kuyt scored the resulting penalty, but the goal was essentially all Lucasā. However, many on here (and elsewhere) were really upset when he came on, because he was replacing Gerrard. Rafa justified it after the match as Gerrard being too emotional and not making the right decisions.
In that sense, Iām really sad that heās leaving simply because heās such a good option for when we need a goal. However, if heās a tool that the manager doesnāt want to use or doesnāt have the opportunity to use that often (as he has said so on many occasions this season), then itās not helping him to stay, and we could use the resources to get someone in who better fits what we need apart from the final ball. When he has played this season, itās often in the context of a game where we are utterly dominating the game, so we can afford to lose the pressing abilities of the other players (not that he doesnāt do it, heās just not nimble/agile enough to flit from pressing one player to another that quickly in the way that Firmino does for example), and just use him as a battering ram. He may have an excellent top speed, but he certainly does not accelerate fast enough, so when he has been useful defensively, itās usually in defending counterattacks, where, like Salah, he gets back to help the full-backs out.
I canāt help but wonder what would have happened if he was fit for the final, whether things would have turned out differently, especially in a match where we had the lionās share of the chances, and we simply needed to just get the ball past Courtois into the net.

Was thinking the same thing!
Often players on the fringes contribute once or twice and pick up medal hauls, this guy can look at every medal he has and say I contributed to that and to some he was vital in.

Very derivative work, imo. You can see the @gasband influence but this āartistā just doesnāt have the panache of the master. Too literal and lacking intellectual heft and by being so focused on telling the story of Divock just completely misses the essence. Far too bourgeois.
Another oneā¦Corner taken quickly!!!

You gotta stop your obsession with my genius. I know its easy to idolize me, who wouldnāt? But I prefer to be the humble artistic genius who has unparalleled artistic skills that inspire people all around the world. I donāt want you to start a cult following of my genius.
You forget that the art world doesnāt give a fuck about you, just making parasitic profit from reselling your work. Btw, are you doing anymore of your CL final ticket series? I have a collector who wants to purchase the entire series and heās willing to pay 7 figures. Happy to give you 50p for the lot provided you do another 5-10. Sound fair?

Commando wants more than 50p for them so no can do.
They are priceless. Also a work of art from where theyāve been patched over the years. 
Even after leaving Liverpool, Divock Origi has kept his partnership with the University of Liverpool to offer the āDivock Origi Scholarshipā to one student to cover their full tuition and Ā£3,000 worth of living costs.
What an absolute gentleman.
