In case you missed it, Abalo celebrated his goal by waiting for a disabled fan to reach the edge of the pitch in order to give him a hug.

Unfortunately for Ludogorets, a costly error from 'keeper Milan Borjan led to a 93rd-minute penalty that Steven Gerrard blasted into the bottom right corner to give Liverpool a 2-1 win.

It was a heartbreaking ending for a side that's turned heads throughout their Champions League campaign.
