James Milner Talks about the Liverpool v Barcelona meeting in the Champions League

DBasia.news –  Liverpool won an important victory at the Estadio d Dragao, Porto headquarters, in the Champions League quarter-final second leg on Thursday (18/4) early morning Western Indonesian Time. The victory secured Liverpool’s ticket to the Champions League semifinals.

Already a 2-0 lead in the first meeting did not necessarily make the Reds satisfied, Jurgen Klopp’s squad was successful four times forcing Iker Casillas to pick up the ball from his net, the visitors’ goals were played by Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Virgil van Dijk.

Eder Militao’s goal in the 69th minute was meaningless because the club based at Anfield was certain to advance to the semifinals after winning 6-1 on aggregate.

Spanish giants Barcelona will be the next opponents. One of the senior players, James Milner, is not at all afraid and even optimistic if his team can achieve maximum results.

“Yes, of course, Liverpool can beat Barcelona. We also know that if the opposing team is difficult to achieve positive results at the Camp Nou. Barcelona is a strong team, but it seems they have not met with teams like us too often. The match will also be difficult for them, “Milner said as reported by the Mirror.

“Barcelona have great players and are one of the strongest teams. Liverpool know that. We will try our best to stop them,” added the former Manchester City player.

Victory is clearly the main target of the Reds, they also want to advance to the final after the previous season failed to be a winner because they must recognize the superiority of the defending champion, Real Madrid with a score of 3-1.

The first leg of the Champions League semifinal will be held on May 2, 2019, Liverpool will first visit Camp Nou, while the second match will be held at Anfield on May 8.
