It’s crunch time in the Champions League, with Liverpool travelling to Barcelona on Wednesday to face the Catalan giants inside the historic Nou Camp. After a spellbinding season consisting of only one league defeat (away at Man City by a slender 2-1 loss), the Reds have churned out result after result in their quest for silverware under the leadership of their beloved Jurgen Klopp.
In a run dating back to January 7th, Liverpool have remained unbeaten in their last 19 matches, winning 14, and conceding only 12 goals. Their feared attacking threesome of Mane, Firmino and Salah have continued to perform down the stretch this season, with Sadio Mane filling in for a few weeks of Salah-less scoring; the Egyptian seems back in form at the perfect time ahead of this doubleheader against the La Liga champions.
Barcelona scooped their 26th league title at the weekend having had the luxury of resting many of their stars over the last couple of weeks. Their talisman Lionel Messi continued to blow football minds in attack, with the Argentinean netting 34 league goals this campaign, 13 ahead of his closest rival Karim Benzema. The recognised GOAT, will be looking to put this Liverpool defence to the sword, but with recently crowned PFA Player of the Season Virgil van Dijk waiting to nullify his threat, the two will pose an intriguing battle in Catalonia. Van Dijk hasn’t been beaten in a one-on-one all season!
With Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho expected to get minutes in both legs, it’ll be interesting to see how the former Liverpool players cope with the pressure of this historic Champions League semi-final. Barcelona have reached just one European final in their last seven seasons, and with Liverpool still fresh from a final loss last season, it may prove to be a mental hurdle to jump in their quest to return to football’s top table.
Liverpool have won in the Nou Camp as recent as in 2007, as well as in the UEFA Cup in 1976, with the home team only ever winning this fixture once in eight meetings. Could history repeat itself on Wednesday night? A 30/1 shot shows incredible value in a game not to be missed!
