The League Cup has come to an end, and the Premier League has also reached the 21st round. Liverpool is ready for the next challenge.
The battle in the Champions League has reignited. After defeating Barcelona 3-2 at Anfield in the first round, Liverpool will go to Camp Nou in the second round to fight Barcelona.
With a one-goal deficit in the total score, Barcelona must want to achieve a comeback at Camp Nou, especially with two away goals on the wings, Barcelona has not actually lost much economic advantage.
Before the game, the official La Liga live broadcast room invited legendary Raul and Ronaldinho to predict the direction of this game.
"Although they are one goal behind, in my opinion, Barcelona actually has more chances of advancing."
"Because they have two away goals, which means that as long as they can win 1:0 at home and tie the total score to 3:3, they will still advance."
"At the same time, the second leg will be held at Camp Nou, Barcelona's devilish home."
"Barcelona has an extremely proud record at Camp Nou. In the past 50 home games, Barcelona's unbeaten rate is as high as 98%!"
"Especially Suarez and Messi, the two have very proud performances at home."
"In the past 30 home games, the league and cup games, the two have jointly created a total of 78 goals, averaging more than two goals per game!"
"So if Liverpool wants to get out of this unscathed, they need to be prepared."
As a Barcelona legend, Ronaldinho is naturally more optimistic about Barcelona, and as a Real Madrid legend, Raul also believes that Barcelona will advance for the first time.
Fans voted and predicted before the game. Although Liverpool led by one goal, Barcelona still had the upper hand in the fans' prediction of the victory or defeat.
Barcelona won 57% of the votes, higher than Liverpool's 43%.
At the pre-match press conference, Barcelona coach Valverde also made a promise to all fans.
"We will do our best at Camp Nou. This is our home court. We are confident that we can play a wonderful offensive football."
"We have Messi and Suarez. We have this strong front line. We have absolute confidence to defeat Liverpool."
At Liverpool's pre-match press conference, Klopp emphasized stability.
"We know that Camp Nou is a devil's home court, but we have Anfield, so we will not be afraid of the devil's atmosphere."
"We will play more stable football."
"I won't tell you whether we are going to attack or counterattack, but I can tell you that we will definitely play stable football."
Liverpool's bus drove into Barcelona three days in advance and checked into a local six-star hotel.
Barcelona fans behaved very friendly, and no one maliciously harassed them, such as disturbing the players' rest by setting off fireworks.
Liverpool continued to train at Camp Nou for two days, warming up in a closed field.
Klopp even brought four speakers to play the cheering sound of Camp Nou in advance to create a game atmosphere.
Liverpool has prepared for this battle. Only by getting through can they become the top eight of the Champions League. Once they lose the first pawn, they will stop in the top 16 of the Champions League.
Barcelona is also well prepared, and the home fans arrived at Camp Nou early.
More than 70,000 Barcelona fans on the scene almost completely drowned out the away Liverpool fans from afar.

The tide-like attack was higher and higher, and Liverpool was in crisis at Camp Nou!
