After 3 draws in a row (in Cologne, Liverpool and a neutral ground in Rotterdam), it went to a coin toss to decide who was going through to the European Cup semifinal - LFC or FC Köln.
And it also ended in a draw too as the coin stuck in a mud! Eventually, LFC won the toss. pic.twitter.com/yk6gFQeLVf
