Champions league: Liverpool vs FC Barcelona

What are the odds that Liverpool will beat FC Barcelona in the Semis???

Previous week in quarter finals ,Liverpool beat FC Porto by(6-1) aggregate, and FC Barcelona beat Manchester united by (4-0) aggregate making them(FC Barcelona and Liverpool) qualified for the semis.

The fixtures for the SEMI FINALS:

 FC Barcelona       vs      Liverpool        ( 2nd May 2019)   as per   IST

 Liverpool              vs      FC Barcelona ( 8th May  2019)  as per   IST

Now, the big question that arises, who would manage to go into the finals. There are various factors which would affect the results. Some of the factors are as follows:

Coutinho and Suarez playing Liverpool

  

Emotions:   Coutinho(FCB) and Suarez(FCB) ,played for Liverpool in their career. So at some point ,playing against their former team(Liverpool) at Anfield stadium(2^nd leg),would somehow effect their performance,either upgraded or degraded cause emotions will come into role.

Anfield stadium

                                

 2^nd leg advantage:   The 1^st leg of semis is played at Camp nou. In the 1^st leg FC Barcelona have chances to beat Liverpool because of home-crowd support and as  per the analysis FC Barcelona won three out of four home matches in Champions League this season and lost none of them from the past 4 years. So Liverpool are having home advantage in the 2^nd leg which may result in the comeback.

Messi celebrating

                                 

Messi’s majestic and unstoppable form: Messi has been directly involved in 13 goals for FC Barcelona in Champions League this season, and he is the highest goal scorer in champions league as well as in La Liga, and has the highest number of assist in La Liga so far. So there is no way stopping him in the semis. Liverpool need to push their limits as hard as they can to qualify to the finals.

Salah, Firmino and Mane

                                   

Reds trio back in form: Salah(LIV), Firmino(LIV) and Mane(LIV) are back in form, which would somehow change the whole course of match. It would be quite difficult for Pique(FCB), Langlet(FCB), Jordi Alba(FCB)   or any other defenders to stop them from attacking. And speaking about Liverpool’s counter attacking, they are kind of masters but not world class. 

Summing up all these factors,there is 50-50 chances for both the teams for qualifying into the finals.And I promise this match, is going to Bangerrrrrrr.
