Although FC Barcelona and Liverpool are the favourite maxima to conquer the title, along the tournament already has showed sobradamente that the prognoses do not serve of at all when the balloon throws to film on the terrain of game.

The FC Barcelona knows that, in semifinals, will have it even more complicated that in the eliminatory of eighth and quarter-finals in front of the Olympique of Lyon and the Manchester United. The ones of Valverde will have to improve his defensive provision in front of the Liverpool, whereas the 'reds' will have to multiply to brake to Leo Messi without losing of sight to Luis Suárez, Dembélé, Coutinho and the rest of 'cracks' culés.

It will measure to an Ajax that has turned into the big disclosure of the tournament, after having loaded to Real Madrid and Juventus with both traced back in the parties of turn, both in the 'cathedrals' rivals. To continuation analyse in brief the fortresses and weaknesses of each one of the teams classified for semifinals of Champions League.

The 4 semifinalists of Champions League:

Tottenham

The group trained by Mauritius Pochettino has attained the big gesta: delete to the Manchester City. With the 1-0 in the party of gone and the defeat by 4-3 in the Etihad Stadium, the double value of the goals will allow to the 'spurs' be in semifinals. Pochettino Has of a team balanced, with an acceptable defence -although far of the best of Europe- and Harry Kane like big reference in attack -although it will not be by injury in semifinals-. Heung-Min Are would have to be his big relief, but also ausentará in the party of gone by accumulation of cards. In any case, the staff 'spur' is formed by other dangerous players like Eriksen, Fernando Llorente and Lucas Moura. The Barcelona already knows to perfection to the 'spurs' when having confronted in two occasions during the phase of groups, something that will serve him of face to a hypothetical final.

Pochettino Is used to to populate the centre of the field with players of work and talent, like Eriksen, Winks, Dier or Trippier (lateral reconverted to carrilero), able to arrive from second line to the contrary area to finish played and generate superiorities. Ajax And Tottenham will star a very equalised semifinal, in which both teams will have to give 100% to win a place, of unexpected form, in the final of Wanda Metropolitan against FC Barcelona or Liverpool.

XI type of the Tottenham: Lloris; Rose, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Trippier; Dier, Winks, Eriksen; Dele Alli, Lucas and Are Heung-Min.

FC Barcelona

The team trained by Ernesto Valverde has of which, surely, was the best staff of the Champions League. Perhaps no so much to level of stars consecrated -in this the Manchester City is to the pair-, but yes regarding balance. With Ter Stegen in the goal and a defensive saga of luxury with Lenglet, Hammered and Umtiti -in the bench-, the danger is used to him arrive by the sides, when playing Jordi Alba and Semedo (or Sergi Roberto) usually advanced to bend to his extremes. Busquets, Rakitic and Arthur star a centre of the field done to dominate the parties, with resources like Arturo Vidal for 'destroy' game and arm to defensive level when it is necessary. The forward, this yes, is the best. Luis Suárez, Coutinho and Dembélé are three 'jugadorazos', but with Leo Messi at the side are still better.

The FC Barcelona deleted to the Olympique of Lyon in eighth after a 0-0 in the gone and a 5-1 in the turn, and in quarter-finals surpassed to the Manchester United after a 0-1 in Old Trafford and a 3-0 in the sanctuary culé. The ones of Valverde arrive to semifinals with maximum illusion, and with the premise to improve the defensive performance and like this suffer the less possible against the Liverpool. The main aim in defence: tie in short to Mané, Salah and Firmino so that they do not do of his. And in attack: give it to Leo Messi.

XI type of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; S. Roberto, Hammered, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Arthur; Coutinho, Messi and Luis Suárez.

Ajax

To the orders of Erik have Hag, and with the presence of young players and very talentosos, the Ajax gave the big surprise to the vapulear to the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu (1-4), and went back it to give in the Juventus Stadium with a 1-2 that served to take down to Cristiano Ronaldo and company after the 1-1 in Johan Cruyff Sand. The staff 'ajacied' alternating footballers curtidos and with experience, as Dusan Tadic, Schöne and Daley Blind, with big promises that have a brilliant future, as they are the cases of Matthijs of Ligt, Neres or Frenkie of Jong, already fichado by the FC Barcelonto.

Although his big virtue is the talent that treasures in the centre of the field and the line of attack, the Ajax is used to to wake up some doubts in defence -Of Ligt can not multiply-, although against the Real Madrid showed flawless in Santiago Bernabéu, and also very solid in the Juventus Stadium. It will be necessary to see if the defence 'ajacied' is able to brake to one of the best attacks of Europe, the one who possesses the Manchester City of Guardiola. Dusan Tadic, Neres and Ziyech are used to to carry all the leadership up, and could do a lot of damage to some 'citizens' that lately are not very fine backwards. Of Jong and Of Ligt, the most stood out players to give balance to the team.

XI type of the Ajax: Onana; Mazraoui, Of Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico; Of Jong, Schöne, Go of Beek; Neres, Ziyech and Tadic.

Liverpool

The ones of Jürgen Klopp, finalists the year happened against the Real Madrid, attained to lumber with a 1-3 to the Bayern Munich in the Allianz Sand, with a Sadio Mané that annotated two goals and erigió like big hero for the 'reds'. They have not had problems in quarter-finals against the Port wine, with a 2-0 in Anfield and a 0-1 in Do Dragao. The Liverpool confirms that it keeps on being one of the most dangerous teams of the Champions League, especially by the trident Mané-Firmino-Salah up.

The signings of the last summer -Fabinho, Naby Keita, Shaqiri...- They have allowed him balance the staff and improve so much in the defensive field as in the centre of the field. The goal also is very covered with Alisson, by what the Liverpool is, beside FC Barcelona and Manchester City, one of big favourites in the quinielas for the title, although the Ajax also has won already this honour to base of football and performance. The 'reds' play to the contragolpe, although have technical capacity to dominate concrete parties. Against the FC Barcelona, expects that the culés carry the control of the party and that the English expect to take advantage of his opportunities to the contragolpe.

XI type of the Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Go Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Fabinho, Henderson; Mané, Salah and Firmino.
