I mean in all honesty, you could quite easily see the reverse scoreline this game and would not be able to moan. Liverpool with more chances and just taken absolutely none.Yet Barca are just taking everything they can.

Proper Mourinho like performance from Barca here :3

I don't think Liverpool deserves 3 this game. 1-1 would be more fair but it's not like they dominated that much more than 20mn.

More shots, more possession. Barca dominated stast on defensive play, more clearances, tackles, blocks etc. Its quite clear Liverpool have had way more of the offensive play.

Agree completely. Outside the lack of clinical finishing / choking this was a 1-1 game on the balance of it.

But hey if Zidane is a genius then I guess so is Valverde ? + Show Spoiler +
neither of them are..

Thats the diff between Barca and Liverpool

Every counter Barca got was either someone failing to play in Messi or even find his feet - or Messi laying it on a plate and someone else preparing a turd sandwich..

Liverpool makes you shit your pants on those kinds of breaks. City is probably the only team that can go at Liverpool and win.

Can't really blame the guy when he plays 1 good game, gets benched, 1 good game, bench, repeat. But that 4-0 would have been more than gg.

140 millions for dembele, lol.
Anyway Valverde's barca is ugly but has a good defense with a super goalkeeper and Messi.

On that chance, for sure. On his season and the lack of confidence he has on another hand..

While Liverpool was the attacking side for most of the second half, they never gave me the feeling that they were actually going to score. There was a lot of energy, but they seemed without a plan in front of goal. Much like how Spurs were yesterday.

One could hope Luis Suarez to score the all important goal, again, in the final. And then win Copa America lol. Just to make Ballon d'Or look even more pointless.

Both definitely better than the German coaches I've seen lately (Klopp and Tuchel).

Well yeah but thats what it will always look like against teams playing deeper and a bit more passive like Barca was. But that deep its only one move away from a goal even if it doesnt look it.

I actually think Liverpool deserves the 3-0

If you play like this, and you waste this many opportunities, you kinda deserve to lose 3-0

Not looking at the results, this Liverpool could have won this SF without problems, but when you are this peevish in front of the goal you kinda deserve to go out.

Funny enough that both Liverpool and United left Camp Nou with the same result

Imo Klopp should write a "101: How to play against Barca away". His team was set up perfectly. His game plan was solid. If only his players had taken half the chances they created we could have had a 3-2 or 3-3

I thought this was a pretty great game. Can't remember seeing Barcelona be as 'dominated' at camp nou as they were for 30 minutes of the second half, and yet they get out of it with a 3-0 win. Messi had another fantastic game, suarez with two great involvements, jordi alba was very impressive, ter stegen super solid..

Very enjoyable and I agree, I think Liverpool's approach was great.. The quality of the finishing was the difference, not the amount of qualified chances. Also wish wijnaldum was subbed off earlier but it's also important to let injured players heal properly.

I had to say it but Vidal was an awesome transfer for a good price this summer.

PD: Messi being Messi.

I do think Dembele & Coutinho are on their way out

Not the worst players in the world by any means, but Barcelona could do much better than those 2, they'll maybe show a much better performance on other teams but as of today, in Barcelona, they are not worthy of their place in this team.

That's a stinging scoreline for Liverpool. You can say the scoreline is harsh on them. But it should have been 4:0 right at the end there, so there is that.

Barcelona are still a fair way above the English teams and Messi is still a fair way above any over player in the world.
