Liverpoolstrip toBarcelonais a truly mouthwatering Champions League clash and itslive on talkSPORT.The clubs havent come to blows since 2007, where the Reds shocked the Catalan giants to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition.
Getty5Formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Alisson
Alisson gets the nod over Marc-Andre ter Stegen for his commanding performances between the sticks for Liverpool this season.The Brazilian stopper has shored up a clear weakness that has hindered Liverpool in recent years and has helped the Reds on their way to a league-high 20 clean sheets this season.Ter Stegen has been very good for the Blaugrana this term but has not impacted his side as much as Alisson.Defenders:
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Gerard Pique, and Andrew Robertson
Jordi Alba may well go down as one of the best full-backs ever, but right now Robertson is arguably the best left-back in Europe.He will pose a significant threat to Barcelona with his surging runs forward and brilliant delivery.He racked up his 12th and 13th assists this season in his sides victory overHuddersfield last week, becoming just the third defender in Premier League history to create over ten goals from defence.The Scot also works tirelessly in the side, having run 88km in his nine appearances in the Champions League this season.
5Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic
Busquets tops the passing charts in the competition this season, having completed 783 passes. The three-time winner of the competition has also ran more than any of his team-mates, having covered a huge 101.7km.He gets the nod over Fabinho in the anchor role in front of the back four.
5Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane gets the slot on the left-wing as he is having his best season yet in English football.He has netted 20 goals in 34 appearances this season and was rightfully selected in the PFA Team of the Year.Philippe Coutinho has improved in recent matches but has somewhat struggled to adapt to life in the famous red and blue striped shirt in his first full season in Catalonia.Messi obviously takes the no.10 role in this set-up. The Argentine has once again been sensational this season, netting an incredible 46 goals in all competitions. He also leads the way for goals in Europe this season (10).
