Liverpool are tasked to overturn a 3-0 deficit against a Lionel Messi-led Barcelona as they take the field on Wednesday. The Reds clearly need a miracle, but AS Roma showed last year that it’s not impossible.
The scoreline at Camp Nou was harsh on Liverpool, given they were slightly the better side until Messi casually decided to turn the game around. Roberto Firmino’s cameo failed to help the visitors in getting a crucial away goal, but the forward did add more fire-power to the under-performing front-line. In fact, the closest Liverpool came to scoring was when Firmino’s shot got the better of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but Ivan Rakitic was present to clear it off the line.
