Barcelona Vs Liverpool Dream11 team
Formation: 4-4-2
GOALKEEPER
Marc Andre Ter Stegen: There was a huge tussle between these two sides, but Marc Andre Ter Stegen makes the cut above Alisson Becker. The main reason behind Ter Stegen’s pick is he makes so many saves to keep his side in the games and the German International has been phenomenal for Barcelona this campaign.
DEFENDERS
Gerard Pique: Gerard Pique is indisputably one of the best defenders over the last decade. He is still the mainstay for the Blaugrana defence who suffer when he is not present in the backline. The Spanish International loves to get higher up the pitch and score goals from set pieces too.
Virgil Van Dijk: After being crowned as the best player in the Premier League, Virgil Van Dijk will focus on his next mission to stop the opponent Skipper, Lionel Messi. The Dutch International is in the form of his life and wins plenty of duels. He has the nack of scoring from set pieces too.
Jordi Alba: Jordi Alba is arguably the best left-back in the world. The Spanish International likes to get further up the pitch to link up with the attackers. Long bursting runs and ability to pick out passes makes him one of the feared full-backs in the world. He is more known for his contributions in the attacking part of the game.
Andy Robertson: Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson will have a monumental task to stop Lionel Messi, who operates through the right wing. The Scottish full-back has an abundance of energy and works his socks off in attacking and defensive areas of the pitch. His crosses are pinpoint and have so many assists to his name this season.
MIDFIELDERS
Sergio Busquets: Sergio Busquets likes to sit back with the defence and dictate the play. The Spanish International has slowed down recently, but he has the vision to pick out passes and run the game with tremendous technique. Besides, he wins plenty of duels in the middle of the park.
James Milner: James Milner will be reinstated in the starting lineup on Wednesday. The midfielder covers plenty of ground in both areas of the pitch. He could operate further up the pitch and could pinch a goal or assist. He is the main penalty taker for Liverpool.
Philippe Coutinho: Philippe Coutinho is finally showing signs of his brilliance after a difficult start to this season. The Brazilian International is slowly getting to his grove and could torment the young Trent Alexander Arnold. He has the ability to score from long range and links up with his teammates really well.
Sadio Mane (VC): Sadio Mane has been exceptional since the turn of the new year. The Senegalese International has scored 14 goals in last 16 appearances for the Reds. His deadly record in front of the goal speaks volumes and he could make Nelson Semedo run for fun and cause havoc at the back.
FORWARDS
Lionel Messi (C): Lionel Messi has been next to impossible to stop this season. The Argentine International has a goal or assist in every 59 minutes which is a breathtaking stat. He will come against a tight defence, but he can exploit every single opportunity available for him. He is so crucial to Barcelona’s chance of finding the back of the net.
Roberto Firmino: Roberto Firmino’s exemplary form in the Champions League has gone unnoticed. The Liverpool attacker has scored 14 and set up his teammates on 9 occasions from just 23 appearances. Those figures suggest that the Brazilian has contributed second most in the competition since the kick start of the last season.
