Champions League: Michael Owen predicts Liverpool vs Barcelona clash at Anfield
Owen, a former Newcastle United player, said he expects Jurgen Klopp’s side to beat the La Liga champions in front of the club’s fans.Owen told Betvictor: “History is against Liverpool overturning their 3-0 deficit from the 1st leg in the Nou Camp.
“The Reds would become just the third side in the history of the European Cup/Champions League to come from three goals down in the 1st leg of a semi-final to qualify for the final and the first since Barcelona themselves in 1986. “That said Barca held a three-goal lead against Roma in last season’s quarter-final before going out on away goals having lost the 2nd leg 3-0 in Italy.
“That must give Jurgen Klopp, his resilient, history-making side and all Reds supporters cause for optimism ahead of what promises to be another wonderful Anfield occasion. “I naturally hoped Mo Salah would be fit for the visit of Barcelona. The Egyptian has been outstanding in recent weeks and he gave Gerard Pique and co a torrid time in the Nou Camp despite the Reds drawing a rare blank.“As it is I expect to see the Reds win at Anfield, but I fear a Barca goal will change the landscape of the tie and it is likely that the Reds will, at some stage, have to throw caution to the wind.
