'Liverpool are the best counter-attacking team in Europe', says former Reds star John Barnes

Liverpool are the best counter-attacking team in Europe and have a great chance of winning the Champions League this season, according to Kop hero John Barnes.

Jurgen Klopp’s Redmen all-but booked their place in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night with a sensational 5-0 away victory over Porto.

Their lethal front-three ran riot in Portugal, as Sadio Mane scored his first Liverpool hat-trick, Mohamed Salah plundered his 30th goal of the season and Roberto Firmino joined in the fun by also netting in the massive win.
