The FC Barcelona surpassed to the Manchester United in his eliminatory of Champions and will be in the semifinals against the Liverpool. The Catalans threw of job to win in Old Trafford for the first time in his history and surpassed days later an arreón initial of the 'network devils' in the Camp Nou, after which Leo Messi sentenced a clash that did that the crossing finish in goleada.
In spite of the good feelings and the solidity that the Barcelona have showed recently, the English do not give them options, and like this it recalcaron in 'BT Sport'. Interviewed by the ex player barcelonista Gary Lineker, three legends of the group mancuniano sinceraron on his vision of the penultimate round of the tournament, and ensured that in this occasion see favourite to the 'reds'.
The first in pronouncing was Rio Ferdinand, that could not be more rotundo: "I Think that the Liverpool will win this year the Champions". "Klopp Will see the first ten minutes of the Barcelona in front of the United, because if Salah, Mané and Firmino go through here, this finish of another form. These occasions they mark them. They can do it perfectly because it also can play in the counterattack. They are a forceful team. The physicist of this team is different to the of the Manchester United. I think that they will cause him more problems to the Barcelona", analysed.
"It is important to have the turn in Anfield, is a fortress, by the atmosphere and the energy that transmits"
The start dubitativo of the culés was signalled by the three experts, and Owen Hargreaves went back to criticise them after mentioning the difficulty of Anfield: "it Is important to have the party of turn in Anfield, is a fortress, by the atmosphere and the energy that transmits. The Liverpool goes to begin well and, with his brilliant defence think that could be difficult for the Barcelona, although it see him like favourite. In spite of the brilliance of the Barça in front of the United, these ten first minutes can pay them in front of Salah, Mane or Firmino. They are very comfortable in LaLiga, but do not scare to anybody playing like this".
Finally, Gary Neville delivered more the scales, but also removed to the Barça the paper of favourite: "When you arrive to the semifinal are the sufficiently good as to win the tournament. If the Barça repeats these first five minutes against the Manchester United in front of the Liverpool in the semifinal, the 'reds' no the desaprovecharan of this way. The three forwards of the Liverpool will cause massive problems. It would not say that the Barça is the favourite, as a lot it is a 50-50. The Liverpool has a lot of more energy that this team of the Barcelona. They do not have so much control neither rhythm in the midfield, but think that certainly can equalise them on the defensive and going to the maximum".
Ferdinand considers that Messi can save to the Barça
After dismissing to taste against the Barça, Ferdinand commented that it also can have a factor saviour, that is not another that Leo Messi. "Smalling Crushed to Messi in the first party and, probably, was the worst that could have occurred, because they woke up it and said, 'will ensure Me that they know me'. And this is what did. A player of this skill, of this height, is too good. Only for being here this Tuesday, there will be people in this stadium, inflate of the United that, although disappointed, will be able to say 'I was there to see to Messi act to this level'. How you prepare you against Messi? We do not know it", reflexionó.
