When you factor in the clear two fouls before the 1st goal at Anfield and an offside goal and all of this Roma probably would have advanced if the rules were enforced correctly and objectively.1) Chance for Roma in the Liverpool box, Lovren dramatically throws himself to ground winning them a soft FK.
2) An identical situation in the Roma box not punished and Wijnaldum scores
3) Karius as the last man brings down Dzeko in the box, wrongly flagged for offside
4) Alexander-Arnold as the last man blocks a goal bound strike in his own box with his hand, nothing given.
And that's just from the top of my head. Shocking officiating. I can guarantee probably only of these will be brought up in the post-match.
Can they do it against a midfield who can conquer their press? I'm actually quite intrigued. Also leaving 3 forward to exploit Madrid would be suicide. Salah and Mane will have to track back. If Madrid get control of the game as they should then Salah could spend more time defending Marcelo than the other way around. It'll be an interesting game but I have serious problems with those here who act like Liverpool are some unbeatable behemoth when they are 3rd in the League and been beaten many times this year. I mean we (and we ain't great) made them look ordinary.
