Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expects Liverpool to get their season back on track.
The pressure was piled on the Reds after three straight league defeats all but ended their hopes of retaining the title.
But goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane earned the champions a 2-0 win over RB Leipzig in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash.
That victory came on the same night as Barcelona were thrashed 4-1 by Paris Saint-Germain at the Nou Camp.
Assessing the two teams, former Arsenal boss Wenger suggested that Barca’s problems were much more deep rooted.
“Liverpool is not Barcelona,” Wenger told BeIN Sport. “Liverpool has a good team, they did underperform for a few weeks, but they have the potential.
“That could be confidence in the Premier League, but sometimes when you play in a different competition, you don’t have that psychological problem.
“That’s why they won tonight. I would say as well, we have seen the game where instead of playing forward, they [Leipzig] play back and they put a problem to their team.
“When Leipzig played the back-pass for the first goal, he could have played forward. But Liverpool is quality and they will come back.”
