Barcelona v Liverpool UCL Semi Final 1/5/19 20.00 BT2 +Virgin.

Cantona's Collars

The clash of the 2 favourites to win the trophy so something's got to give.
Barcelona with the genius of Messi and Liverpool with a lethal front 3 could serve up a treat.
The fans over there already seem to be enjoying themselves. Will they be happy by the final whistle?

There’s a lot of Liverpool’s perceived threat on the break gone

SlickRic

No Firmino.

Gomez starts at RB.

Keita, Milner, Fabinho and Wij all start.

I'm worryingly confident that Liverpool will really hurt Barcelona on the break. Want to say 3-1 to Liverpool but Jaysus, it's Barcelona with Messi and Suarez.

I think this game will be won in midfield, by Barcelona.

3-1 Barcelona.

The got at thing again.

No defence is infallible. The legendary Italian sides conceded goals too.

Hang on a twitter account called footballfights is actually not in favour of football fights?

Morons obviously.

All the talk is Roberto starting RB, I'm weeping. Mane vs him is a bloodbath

The Golden Miller

Think this could go the way of City/Liverpool last year, or Bayern/Barca about 6 or 7 years ago, where Bayern tanked them.

Barca haven't been tested. Poor enough defense, disjointed midfield by their own standards, where they look labored and slow alot of the time and rely on individual talent up front. If that's snuffed out, Liverpool will blitz them on the break. Could really see a very bad beating for Barca tonight

Score draw tonight and Liverpool to give them a hiding at Anfield

where are all these rumours actually coming from?

The last official / journalist word was that Firmino trained yesterday and was ok.

Rumours of Firmino not passing a late fitness could be a blow for Liverpool

If it is the case, I wonder will Sturridge or Origi start? Or perhaps play Salah/Mane through the middle and play Ox now that he's back?

No chance Ox starts. Zero.

If he's out, it'll be Origi IMO.

Haha :P , Liverpool are on the up year on year and the bitters are literally bricking it, its great.

FC Barcelona 0 - 2 Liverpool FC

Fast start from the reds, all over them like a rash. Get the two goals inside 20 mins, then things stabilise and Barcelona start to dominate possession and Messi comes close, but Liverpool’s defence stands strong.

Van Dijk and Mané with the goals.

Fitz*

Up there with one of the best ever goals scored at Anfield by an opposition team. The passing, interplay, movement and a class through ball at the end. It was just sublime.

Not the best video of the goal, but you can still see the play.

The difference between the teams is Liverpool have a world class defence aswell as world class attack, that barca defence is pretty poor to say the least.

In this seasons Champions League, Barca have conceded 7 goals - Liverpool have conceded 9

Ah ancient facts no bearing on this game imo.

Going to be a good game.

Think Barca edge it but expecting both teams to score. Think a 1 goal deficit and Liverpool will still fancy their chances in Anfield

2-1 or 3-2 prediction.

Isn't this time of year the end of season for everyone?

We played them in 2001 as Reina was in goal for them at Anfield, I think. I also remember them coming to Anfield a few years before that and winning. Other than that I'd say were are talking ancient history.
Now someone will point out we played them in 2017 or something.

3 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses vs Barca.

What years did they beat/draw with Barca at home?

2nd post in thread says Barca unbeaten at home in six years in Europe.

Barca and Liverpool have played each other 4 times in Europe 1 set of games in a group stage and three times in knockouts and each knockout times Liverpool have gone through

1st time UEFA Cup 1975-76 = Agg 2-1 to Liverpool 0-1 to Liverpool in Barca and 1-1 in Liverpool
2nd time UEFA Cup 2000-01 = Agg 1-0 to Liverpool 0-0 in Barca and 1-0 to Liverpool in Liverpool
3rd time Champions League Group stage 3-1 to Barca in Liverpool and 0-0 in Barca
4th time CL 2006-07 = 2-2 with Liverpool going through on Away goals 2-1 to Liverpool in Barca and 0-1 to Barca in Liverpool

So you could say Liverpool are unbeaten so far in Barca but have not played them in over 12 years so does not really count towards form tonight and next week

What a brave sterling prediction. You truly stand alone, a heretic against the tide of popular opinion with that.

Barca strong favourites for tonight and narrower favourites overall to win the tie. Liverpool decent favs with bookies now to finish the season without a trophy. So nothing to be gained "predicting" the favoured outcome.
