Prediksi Liverpool vs Barcelona 8 Mei 2019

Liverpool will host Barcelona at Anfield in the second leg of the 2018/19 Champions League semi-final on Wednesday (08/5). Three goals deficit, and without away goal capital. That is what the Reds must overcome if they want two consecutive seasons to appear in the final

In the first leg at Camp Nou last week, Liverpool gave up three goals without reply. Luis Suarez scored the opening goal in his former club goal, and did not hesitate to celebrate. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi appeared brilliant and bought two. The second, in the form of a spectacular free kick from distance, was his 600th goal in a Barcelona uniform.

Liverpool actually played well, even creating several opportunities. But James Milner's chances, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah all failed to convert into goals for his team.

Are the finalists last season just bad luck, or are their levels under Barcelona? If said Massimiliano Allegri, the cause is the second.

If so, that means Barcelona deserves to be favored to the final. Because the difference in level is not something that can be overcome only through one match or only within one week.

Before the first leg, Liverpool were optimistic they could achieve positive results at home to Barcelona. The existence of tough defender Virgil van Dijk and the trio of Mane-Firmino-Salah attackers, although Firmino only played in the second half, judged to be a weapon for Liverpool to hurt Barcelona. But what happened was a three-goal victory without reply for Barcelona.

For the determination duel later, Liverpool remain optimistic that they can reverse the situation. Tuah Anfield is one of the things that is the basis.

But Liverpool must have realized that their task was very heavy. Losing at Camp Nou, means they have to play attacking and as much as possible avoid the goal of being broken. Against Messi and Suarez, it's not an easy matter. The opponents of Newcastle alone they conceded two.

Liverpool are also threatened with a return they cannot bring down the strongest team. One became a 'sacrifice' victory over Newcastle last weekend, and his condition is now in a big question mark. Firmino is still quite doubtful. Naby Keita was sidelined after falling in the first leg.

Then, what about Barcelona?

Barcelona are very well prepared for this fight, and that is evident from how they released the match against Celta Vigo in La Liga. The pillars of importance are rested. Even though Ousmane Dembele was once again injured, it didn't seem like a big deal for Barcelona.

At Anfield, just one goal will make Barcelona's position more secure. That's what they will try to catch up.
