Barcelona Lineup Vs Liverpool: Barca predicted lineup for Champions League Semifinals | Barcelona News

Barcelona Lineup Vs Liverpool: Here is how the Blaugrana could lineup against Liverpool at Nou Camp on Wednesday.

Barcelona will face Liverpool after a span of 12 years in the Champions League. The Blaugrana will invite the Reds to Nou Camp on Wednesday night and it might prove to be an exciting contest between two world-class sides who look to end their Champions League drought.


FC Barcelona, who were crowned as the La Liga Champions in the weekend are aiming for the treble. Ernesto Valverde’s side have set up a grand finale with Valencia in the Copa Del Rey on May 26 and the Barcelona faithful will hope to see their team participate in the European competition finals. But, they would have to overcome Liverpool, who were the runners-up to Real Madrid last season.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have picked up their momentum over the last few weeks. The Reds have won ten games on a trot and look to emphasize their winning run against FC Barcelona in the Champions League. Their centre-forward Roberto Firmino is a potential doubt for the first leg against suffering a slight tear to his groin. The rest of the squad are fit and firing ahead of this game.

We shall look at FC Barcelona’s team news and predicted lineup as they take on Liverpool on Wednesday night.
