Liverpool would be aiming to get a positive result when they visit the Camp Nou to face Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final tie.
The Reds comfortably won their previous league game against Huddersfield on Friday night to keep the title hopes just about alive. However, facing a Barcelona side, with Lionel Messi is a whole different task, especially away in Catalonia.
With Jurgen Klopp’s men being at home in the second leg, an away goal or two with a decent result would bode well ahead of next week.
