you are right, 1+4=5. If we score two goals, they will need 6, and so on. Against Roma we led 4:1 after the home game. 3:0 is a better result.

Klopp has to decide now if he wants to go for the Premier League or for an attempt to defeat Barça by 4 goals (assuming Barça scores an away goal). If he plays Newcastle with his best team, the players will be too tired to turn it around against Barça next Tuesday. But even if he beats...

Vidal has learned to be tough without collecting too many Yellow Cards. Fabinho, on the other hand, overdid it. He went too far, caused a freekick and the rest is history. Goal #600 was amazing, even by Messi's high standards.

Morten, I think you should appreciate that Vidal will finally make it to a CL final. I think he deserves it, after his bad luck with Bayern.

how close it was for Dembele to score 4:0 - but we can't be too greedy. If we score a goal at Anfield, Liverpool will need 5 to win. Not with MAtS.

few teams can play one-touch passes among ALL team players, but Ajax can (at least for 30 minutes), Man City can and Barça can (if we want). As to the Spurs match, we should not forget that they played without Harry Kane and Son, their best goal scorers. With Son back next week, the result may...

If Coutinho had scored 1-2 goals against Levante we would all sing his praises - let's hope he improves his finishing against Liverpool. He should only play 45 minutes, his stamina still seems to be an issue.

Let's hope the good year continues - he is well worth it, not only as player but as a person.

As to Oblak, I think he underperformed when it counted, against Juventus. I don't think MAtS would have conceded all 3 goals, 1-2, but not three. Oblak was afraid of CR7, did not try to stop him when he was almost at the goal line.

I am very annoyed by the Bayern comparisons - just check what happened to Bayern when Messi was fit in 2015. Our team today is much stronger than it was before the addition of players like Suarez, MAtS, Rakitic, Semedo, Lenglet, Umtiti, Arthur, Vidal, Dembélé, Coutinho and Malcom. Our creativity...

I wonder what the ratio is in terms of Money spent on players PSG - Rennes

Hardy, are you a Barça fan or not? Are you trolling or are you serious? Look at the results this season: Liverpool is a good team but I would favor Barça at Camp Nou. I think you should too. And, BTW, remember that Messi was injured in 2013. We all know what he means to our team.

Congratulations, winning La Liga is a great achievement. Even bottom clubs are strong and can surprise. Levante threatened at the end but MAtS kept his cool. His distribution was perfect today. And Messi came to the rescue, as usual, against an inspired goalkeeper. Now EV can play the B team...

Coutinho is very active, plays well but - how many chances does he need to score a goal?

I think Valverde wants to win today and then send a B team to Vigo for the Celta match. Liverpool will not be able to rest next Sunday against Newcastle ahead of the home return match against Barça on Tuesday. That will be a big challenge for Klopp. But let's not get ahead of ourselves: Play...

We need Barça to prepare for early high press of Liverpool - cannot afford to sleep through the first 5 minutes like we did against Man Utd. Their top 3 will not miss opportunities like Rashford.

what is it with Coutinho that he always fades after 30 minutes? He frequently starts well but disappears later. Is it a lack of fitness?

Messi was very close to scoring twice, first the shot that the GK deflected to the post, second the curler at the end that went high - a very rare occurrence. He definitely was not "sharp", missing a number of passes that he usually gets right. Overall a sub-par performance. The next question is...
