32 year old Suarez ....no need to boost I hope to have a fully rested squad and fit liverpool players and we will see...
I don't know it is by age now. As in Suarez can't even score an open net goal again cos he is 32.
U can't have a fully rested squad before then and I don't want u to use it as an excuse for ur defeat. Ur lack of experience made u lose a 9 point advantage over city in Epl. By now u should be resting ur squad to face Barça but hell no. U will keep running after the league and UCL and end up losing both. Gracias

You are wrong sir!

1) Alisson Becker is actually better than Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
2) Currently, Virgil Van Dijk is better than Pique.
3) Mane is a better attacker than Coutinho.
4) Suarez, in his prime, is the deadliest #9 in Europe. Age is catching up though.
5) Milner is a workhorse, Vidal is his equivalent (but Barca may not play him).

Now, Barca thrives on operating in close spaces and playing intelligently. On the other hand is Liverpool, which excels at gegenpressing and a high tempo, high mobility kind of game - Liverpool players could run an opponent aground.

VVD has brought a level of stability and maturity to the defence of Liverpool; it would hold its own. Messi has been observed to be susceptible to unrelenting marking and harassment by an opponent (France did it with Matuildi and Ngolo).

On the whole, Barca's hands will be full - very full. It's dicey.
currently Marc Andre Ters Stegen is better than Becker (though the gap is close).
I don't think Virgil is better than Pique. I watch La liga often and pique does a lot of mad stuffs regularly.
mane is faster than coutinho but in every other area of play, coutinho is better.
as for Vidal, if I were Valverde I would play Vidal and have him man mark Henderson or Miner coz from what I've seen, those two usually link up with the front 3.
yes Liverpool plays with a high tempo but so did Man Utd and they still lost. a lot of teams a la liga plays with high tempo and still lose. not to mention Liverpool will have almost no chance to rest since they are actively fighting for the EPL and can't rest players. I doubt they can maintain that high tempo for more than 30 minutes.

It's not about who has the strongest squad. It's about the player that is capable of destroying and dismantling every kind of defense in the world. Wether Liverpool likes it or not even if they have the best defenders in the world, Lionel Messi is the only player that will dismantle their defense because he has done it to every team that has played against Barcelona

(1)Alisson Becker not as good as Marc-Andre ter Stegen
(2) Andy Robertson not as good as Jordi Alba
(3) Sergio Busquets more better than Fabinho
(4) Gini Wijnaldum not as good as Arthur
(5) Sadio Mane not as good as Philippe Coutinho

Bro, you're wrong on 2, 4 and 5....You might be right on 1 and 3 though, in fact, 3 is questionable because Fabinho hasn't been in as many matches as busquet this season, not because he's not good, but adjusting to the team pattern.

Ter Stergen is better than Becker. You haven't watched Arthur in Barcelona, that guy is press resistant, Van Dijk edges pique I agree. Suarez is better than Salah and Mane. Forget this gen gen pressing, Barcelona is not an epl team. Barca without Messi beat Madrid 5-1. Our second team held Tottenham first team to a draw. Barcelona has class something Liverpool has lacked in the last decade

I am not a Liverpool fan, but this Liverpool side is not afraid of any crowd. I predict at least a draw for Liverpool on the road and a conformable victory at Anfield, and Barcelona will kiss a goodbye to champions league this season.

D match is one d 1st of May, and of course, its Barca vs Liverpool @Camp nou.. Juxtaposing both teams in d following
(1) number of goals scored so far... Its Barca
(2) highest goal scorer.. Messi (barca)
(3) number of losses in all categories of games.. It's equal because both teams Av lost 4 games in a roll
(4) team with greater pedigree according to history...its Liverpool
(5) team dat plays well away...liverpool
however, its an open game.. Liverpool can win and Barca can.. But I guess history might repeat itself...YNWA#

Sir, I do not agree that Ter Stergen is better than Alisson Becker. For example, Barca has shipped in 31 goals in La Liga; Liverpool has conceded only 20 in the EPL.

Alisson Becker has 18 clean sheets. Compared to Oblak's 18 and Ter Stergen's 14. For perspective, Kepa Arizzabalaga has 13. I will readily compare Becker with La Liga's best keeper, Jan Oblak.

For Coutinho and Mane; Mane is a better attacker, while Coutinho is a better midfielder. Coutinho has five (5) league goals, whereas, Mane has eighteen (18). C'mon!

Barcelona players are better passers, while Liverpool players have got better pace and stamina.

Too much of Epl.Try and Watch La liga more.That Robertson is still below Alba when messi plays him as an outlet.Pique is Calm,Cool and Calculated.He would teach Vvd how to improve his defending.Messi can Score Assit and Create.That's where The game would be won.You wanna press Barca?

charlesm91:
nah... Even as a madrid fan, i'll admit barca are more of a team than any other club. Yes they find Messi but any other one who is in a better position to do something is given the ball to exhibit and that's why they're so clinical in front of goals. Suarez may be shit but he sure knows how to bring the team together in eighteen yard box.
As for Liverpool, they're good too quite alright but the same spirit that works in other teams that plays barca might strike again, and that's the spirit to go for it alone due to blood rush that occurs when goal chances presents itself. Salah, Mane have occasionally shown to be individualists. But in the spirit of fairplay, it's an open game for neutrals.
