Barcelona have made it to the UEFA Champions League semi-final after a gap of few years and awaiting them are last season’s finalist Liverpool. The high octane encounter is being billed as the game of the season with both sides in great form. The Catalonians are at home for the first leg and having wrapped up the league last week, their sole focus is now on Europe. But for Liverpool, they will still have to fight it out for the Premier League title as they are in the hunt though Manchester City may pip them to it in the end. Another trophyless season will severely dent Jurgen Klopp’s story at Merseyside hence he needs silverware to keep the critics quiet. Barcelona vs Liverpool - Live Football Score, Match 214.

Ernesto Valverde rested several players for the game against Levante and he will be looking to unleash them on the Reds. Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Phillipe Coutinho would be relishing the challenge coming their way and must step up in the big game. Ousmane Dembele has looked off-colour since his return from injury and may have to settle for a place on the bench. Ivan Rakitic and Arthur destroyed Manchester United in their last European game and the duo should flank Sergio Busquets on either side. Clement Lengelet partners veteran Gerard Pique at the heart of the defence with Jordi Alba linking up with the attackers up front with each opportunity possible.

Roberto Firmino is struggling with a groin strain and is not sure of taking the field at Nou Camp against Barcelona after missing the Huddersfield game. The absence of the Brazilian alters the balance of Liverpool’s attack with its famed front three getting impacted. Sadio Mane and Mo Salah are world-class forwards who will trouble the home side’s defence much more than what United did. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have had the season of their lives so far. The fullback duo has a work rate next to none in English football in addition to their assists. In midfield, skipper Jordan Henderson could start to provide stability to the back four comprising of the one of the best in the world-Virgil Van Dijk.
