Barcelona are aiming for the Champions League final. After the 3-0 win against Liverpool at Camp Nou in the first leg of the semifinal, the Blaugrana are getting ready to play at Anfield. On the game's eve, Barcelona's coach Ernesto Valverde has talked during the traditional press conference: "The first leg result doesn't change anything. We have to face the game like the first one didn't happen. Thinking about controlling the game would be an error, we have to attack to score and win. Anything could happen".

Klopp will have to do without Salah and Firmino, both out on injury. Valverde has added: "It would be extraordinary to see them on the pitch, like Dembélé. Every coach has to do with absences, Dembélé's is important to me. Who will play will be motivated though".

Barcelona can still think about getting a Treble: "Thinking about the Treble doesn't change anything, we have to keep our feet on the ground. I think Klopp himself is thinking about his possible double". No indication on the lineup: "I don't know yet if I'll change something compared to my first leg lineup, you can mess things up by changing things. Vidal gives something different to the team on the physcial level and that's a possibility. We'll see tomorrow. Roma? The experiences are very useful. We didn't do well last season in Rome but football always gives you a second chance. Games have to be played, nothing's done beforehand".
