UEFA Champions League – Roma-Liverpool – Roma v Liverpool: line-ups, Fantasy tips, form guide


Reporter’s view: Roma will be out to disprove the cliché that lightning does not strike twice in the same place. The 3-0 win that eliminated Barcelona in the last round was a bolt from the blue, and they need another at the Stadio Olimpico to overturn Liverpool’s 5-2 lead. The belief in the city is surprisingly high for such a mammoth undertaking, given recent precedent, and storm clouds are indeed forecast to move in.

Is Salah's strike against Roma your goal of the semi-finals?

Is Salah’s strike against Roma your goal of the semi-finals?

We’ve got to want this comeback and give it everything – we’ve got to do something truly great. [We must have] belief and with this mentality, with these fans and this passion around the team, try to perform another miracle – and saying miracle is perfectly fine. I’m glad we’ve got this far, but I’m never one to settle for that. Our ambition should be to get to Kyiv.

Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool manager
