Champions League Semi Finals (30th April - 8th May)

Barca not clinical enough. An away goal would end this. If Liverpool score next Barca could easily bottle this.
 
Set up nicely for the second half. Score before 70th minute and the second half defends into a counter attaching chaos!! Should be a good watch.
 
Take off Coutinho and put in Semedo.

Frees up Roberto going forward and shores up the midfield even more.

Coutinho is utterly useless. And people want him to replace Pogba? Hell no.
 
Pretty even game. Suits Barca to a tee so far. Just need to stop wasting chances and it's over.
 
Barca have got this but can’t afford to make stupid mistakes like the first goal. If they do and Liverpool make it 2:0 anything could happen.

They’re making chances and will have even more space in the second-half as Liverpool go for it. So just go and score ffs!
 
I think he's been great.

He's charging around tonight doing some good stuff, but he looks to be blowing out of his arse after 45 minutes. Maybe he knows he's only getting an hour at most but he doesn't look a CM you can hang your hat on for 90 big minutes anymore.
 
If Liverpool score another early goal in the second half it will be squeaky bum time for Barca

Nope. Fake news.

Barca to rattle 2 in 2 minutes 2 minutes after kickoff. Done and dusted. RAWK thread.
 
The Andy Robertson face in the replay of the Busquets challenge is Phil Jones level.

Yeah he’s insane. Instant fear when he’s on the ball.

Yup. When his legs eventually do go, I bet you can build a successful team by putting two hard working midfielders behind him, some mobile attackers in front of him and just let him create for them with his vision and passing.
 
The scousers aren’t keeping a clean sheet here, Messi will definitely score or put one on a plate for somebody.
 
Busquets is extremely slow as well and I’m Rakitic is going about his business rather quietly. Vidal has been superb in both legs though. Glad he was picked as Arthur, albeit technically superb, would have made the middle too slow/weak against Pools power.

Christ, that 17-18 MF with Iniesta, Gomes and Busquets... 3-0 by now...

He’s had 2 sighters. By his standards he would have made the keeper work with those.

He won’t need a 3rd!
 
Barca had some good chances. A couple of shots from Messi and Alba with a very good chance at the end there. Liverpool have slowed down after 15-20 minutes.
 
Would love Busquets at United, always has time and space, rarely gives the ball away and never looks flustered when pressed by 2 or 3 men. Someone we are severely lacking.
 
Klopp got some tough decisions on his hands now. Fabinho on a yellow and playing like he's on Crack. Shaqiri playing like a sausage dog and Origi already got his goal so won't score for another three months.
 
Please just sell Coutinho to Qatar or China. What an idiot. I won't even mind if the stadium boo him to death.

EV making some questionable decisions every game and getting saved by individual brilliance. Its a huge summer, players like Countinho needs to be sold. Won't mind even Sergi and half the midfield is sold. All fans are too emotional about homegrown; we should be more ruthless. Busquets had a bad season, last season as well he was average. He is done at top level.

Liverpool putting in a lot of heart but in truth Barca had the better chances.
