We may only need 1 win to lift the CL trophy. We can eliminate Liverpool with 2 draws and then beat Ajax/Spurs in the final. This is what we did against EPL opposition in 2008/09. In terms of resting. I think that Liverpool may paradoxically be in a better position than we are. They only have...

Yes. I remember everyone in here being terrified of Pep's Bayern, but they did not get a sniff at Camp Nou. They had literally zero chances in that game. That Bayern was far superior to this Liverpool in terms of passing and technique, but this Liverpool has two lethal attacking players in Mane...

3-1 is better than 1-0. I thought that was self-evident.

Even if the first leg ends 0-0, we'll still have lots of chances. Liverpool are not invincible at home.

:suarez:

It's by now a distinct possibility. It's potentially the most likely final.

Liverpool-Barca is the final. The other semi is over who gets silver medal.

Saw extensive highlights of the Porto-Liverpool game myself. The scoreline is astonishingly flattering for Liverpool. Porto were the best team for most of the game. Marega missed as many chances as he did in the first leg. I think I don't need to stress here that we are somewhat better than...

Aren't Real Madrid great on counters? How about Atleti? United? Spurs? Inter? PSV? Chelsea? Juventus? We blew all of the above away in the last 2 seasons.

Calm down mate. Yes Liverpool are formidable, but so are we. It's gonna be an epic tie, nobody knows how it will turn out. In any case, where is that poster with all the running stats? We need him to enlighten us on Liverpool's running capabilities and how those compare to ours.

I don't think that Liverpool are far behind. And they are younger by some margin.

Did they really mess up though? They were playing against PSV (level on points with the awesome Ajax after 30 Eredivisie games) PSV gave us two extremely tough games at the GS. The first we deceptively won 4-0 thanks to lots of Messi magic and a golazo by Dembele. The 2nd game, we were very...

We have to go FTW against both Sociedad & Alaves. Then rest everyone vs Levante.

Was there ever any doubt?

I agree. WTF was that?

We have 3 league games before the first semi vs Liverpool. They have only 2. Their game before the first semi is vs already relegated Huddersfield. We play against Levante at home. That game should be a write-off, we must consider it already a defeat, no starter should even be on the bench...

They left 5 players out against West Ham. In the first leg, they had 8 days of rest, we had 3. We still beat them at their own ground. I repeatedly posted that during the 2nd leg, things would be reversed.

After around 10 years of La Liga being the best, now we have to admit that EPL is the strongest. Especially their top 6, and even more so their top 2.

This. Yes, of course we are a beast at home in the CL, but strange things sometimes happen. Luck may turn against us. We can do no wrong in this game and we have to play at 100%.
