Spurs result means that we will still be at home in the second leg I believe. Hopefully the Anfield crowd roars us to the final.

barxa will see you out.

You can hurt them, but your best hope is Messi is injured.

Whatever.

We have enough to beat them. We can’t go on the Utd game. Ole has no tactical knowledge and it showed. Utd were hopeless. We will give them a much better game

Compared to last seasons finale at least you have a bench where players can enter the match and make a difference.

I have Liverpool as slight favourites for this one. Messi is literally the only obstacle in their way and it's the toughest obstacle one can imagine.

It’s finely balanced, but player for player Barca are probably better..where pool are better is the coach, and tactics..

If we’re still in this tie going into the second leg then Anfield will be an absolute cauldron

From what I’ve seen of Barca I think you are better, however they have the advantage of not being in an intense title fight and can rest players, I think that could be crucial.

Maybe they shade the attack just because of Messi. Midfield they're probably stronger, defence definitely us stronger.

Barca can afford to rest their entire 11 before both legs. You lot can't. Huge advantage to them.

We have players coming back from injury, Gomez , ox our squad is strong no one will want to miss this run in pain or no pain 👍

I think all things even you could do them though. We had a go last night for 10 mins and they looked vulnerable. Then Messi scores a goal out of nothing and the game turned completely.

He does that a lot. If we have chances like Rashford did we will have to take all of them otherwise we will be punished in the same vein.

We certainly can't afford to perform like we did in the first half hour tonight.

That's the thing about Messi and Ronaldo. They can easily score against the run of play.

Even if you man mark Messi he is intelligent enough to bring other players into the match like Suarez and coutinho.

Barca are still a quality outfit. Dembele is back from injury as well. When the fixtures were announced I felt Liverpool would win. Now I'm not sure

Liverpool will qualify comfortably which means I’ll have to support them in the final 🤢

If we keep Messi quiet then that's a large part of the job. Suarez is not what he once was and Coutinho isn't having the best time over there. Still going to be tough, but if we are clinical then we have a good chance against their dodgy defence.

I watched them against United and if they play like that against us then we can hurt them.

However, you just know they will have a different approach to this game.

Obviously they like to play some risky passes in their third of the pitch. They did it so much against United. They are good at it but Klopp should be licking his lips. Even Pep had to change his style for Liverpool.

Barca favourites but hoping for an upset of course. Its difficult but doable.

I’d agree with that, defence you are better, midfield they are, though not as steeled, upfront, it’s close, but when Messi is added, they are way better..but that’s up to him if he turns it on.

I think klopp will go pure counter (as I would). You can certainly hurt them, but they can certainly hurt you.

United had the right tactics against Barca and I expect we will play similarly .If we make less mistakes than United did we have a good chance.

You've definitely got the tools to do it. I just think Barca resting key players will prove vital.

Porto by all accounts had plenty of good chances over both legs too. If you give Barca that amount you will be punished.

You'll do better than us though for sure. Your players aren't all brilliant but they do have character and heart.
