Klopp has confirmed that Salah won't play tomorrow against Barcelona.
I read news about missing players for Liverpool including Salah which makes things even worse for LFC... Tomorrow game will be very hard, i cannot imagine them winning unless Barcelona playing with substitute players..

Klopp has confirmed that Salah won't play tomorrow against Barcelona. Salah is so unlucky, he keeps missing key games for his teams due to injuries (CL final last year + a few World Cup games, and now this crucial game vs Barca).

So, a front three with Shaqiri, Origi, and Mané? Unless Klopp wants to try some of his weird tactics again and puts Milner as a centre-forward or something weird like that.

With Salah missing, so does every dream of Liverpool hoping to cause an upset goes out through the window, and making a comeback after the first leg defeat seem pretty much impossible now, I don't see Origi and Shaqiri causing much threats for Barcelona, Barcelona might even as well defeat Liverpool at Anfield with such tactics.

Ajax Amsterdam team value is around 380$ million and that's pretty good for a team that's not very popular these days, at least not as popular as Real Madrid or Juventus, because it's playing in Eredivise. They've come this far because they are just playing way too good, their quality is very high and now their confidence is at the highest level. It will definitely be interesting to see how they play in the final against Barcelona.

I think that many Ajax players will leave the club after this season. the clubs with big money already put their eyes at young Ajax players.
That happens almost every year because Ajax is the best team is Eredivise. I did some research and they have made 7 of top 10 biggest transfers in Netherlands best of them being Frankie de Jong(€75M)this year and Davinson Sanchez€42M) back in 2017. So there will be no surprise if they make another big transfer this summer to a big club.

Actually this is something that is usually done by Ajax every year or indeed their tradition. And the Ajax players have already got the next season contract to change clubs. For example, one of them is Frankie de Jong, who is officially in Barcelona next season. And there are some players who are still in negotiations for the European team. So this is indeed ajax habit to sell players to big clubs in the sense that these players can develop again in a bigger club.

Indeed, if they manage to pull it off against tottenham they all will have transfers coming up. Big change they will beat tottenham in house.

Common my dream final is Barca vs Ajax 4-3 Ajax
Spurs still has chance more chances a i am giving to Ajax but 0-1 is not much
Barca will qualify if LFC will qualify that it will be big miracle
I heard miracle happens LOL and I hope it does (slim, very slim hope)
By the way, I think Ajax will qualify. They are playing outstanding football honestly speaking. Small team but heart of a lion.


Which miracle?  Liverpool or the Spurs?  Grin  I think Liverpool has more of a chance for a miracle being at home and after what Tottenham showed today.
LOL
I do not care about Spurs 😜
I would love to see a score that qualify Liverpool for the final 🙂
I completely understand that I am dreaming 🙂

Literally, Liverpool has a better chance of making to the final! I still can't wrap my head around how Tottenham keep doing this year in year, they play so well at the start of the season to way pass mid season then, all of a sudden choke on all their potential achievements a very few weeks to end of the season.

Looks like it will be Barcelona vs Ajax in the final, my preference would be for Ajax to win. They are a team built on low spending & just by nurturing their youth players they are here. I do think that Barcelona will win though.
I also thought the final match will between ajax and FCB .ajax clearly had quality, with a squad value that was far cheaper than other contestants they were able to advance so far. I was very impressed. there have been many teams who have been UCL victimized because of underestimate them, whether they will advance to their final in the second match against spurs I am looking forward.

Is it going to be an entertaining match, of course It is going to be more interesting to watch than the first the leg, but as for Liverpool to qualify for the final after a 3 goal deficit against Barcelona, You're just expecting to much, the most Liverpool will get is win, but they are surely out of the competition.

I am not much optimistic about qualifying because team like Barcelona will never give up 3 goals lead to waste. I think final will be in between Ajax vs Barcelona and Barcelona is going to have the season title.

Messi is too tough to stop. He is scoring goals from free kicks as if these are penalty shots LOL

Liverpool is not only looking forward to the win but also to qualify for the final. We need a win with at-least 3 goals difference. The match will be an entertaining one for sure.

In CL season 2017/2018 Quarter-finals, Barcelona wins against Roma 4:1 in the first leg, but in 2nd lag in Italy, Roma wins 3:0 and go to semifinals. I think Liverpool is a much stronger team than Roma, and they have a chance. Not significant but there are. This year we saw it many surprising results, why not one more from Liverpool.

But you are missing one important point. Roma had an essential away goal but Liverpool departed Spain with no away goal advantage. Even if Liverpool scores 3 goals in upcoming leg, match will forward to extra-time and penalty eventually. I don't think Liverpool have that much strong attack to score 4 goals against the duo of Pique and Lenglet and especially Ter Stegen (this guy is beast). Moreover, except Van Dijk, Liverpool defence looks quite hollow. If they play too much of attacking football, I think Barcelona can easily counter-attack with the combo of Messi and Dembele (he has to start in second leg).
Also if we compare Roma of last year and present Liverpool, they both had same goalkeeper. Defensively both look exact similar. Current Liverpool is not too better than last year Roma so this factor won't effect Barca I guess.

Has anyone ever thought about what will happen to Barcelona after Messi retires ? I mean they have a great youth team and that academy (la masia ? something like that) produces great number of players every year but considering Messi is just one and only which helps them get above everyone else if Messi retires I think Barcelona will become another "good team", like city was a good team, Liverpool is a good team, even ajax is a good team this season, I think Messi is the one that makes Barcelona above those teams, without Messi Barcelona is just another one of those teams.

Real Madrid was a good team this year, they got eliminated because they sold Ronaldo, well Ronaldo was a good player but he got eliminated too, so I really don't know what will happen but I hope it doesn't happen for a little more while.

Indeed, if Ajax will intensify more effort when they get to the final with Barcelona, anything can happen becasue football is full of uncertainty. Although between the two team, Ajax are the under-dog but can still surprise Barcelona and the whole of football with their youthful age.

Full back reading the striker well and the striker knows that the full back knows where to put the ball is 'out of context'...?  Nay.  I think that's the kind of things they do in practice.
Cheesy  I'm not saying they didn't know what they were doing, with out of context I meant that nothing was happening in the game (Pool wasn't under siege) and all of sudden BUM! Barcelona scored.

Yeah...  I think that wouldn't have happened if the guy who was supposed to mark the full back was a couple of paces nearer.  Dunno.
