The three precedents Barça-Liverpool of Champions, favourable to the 'reds'

The FC Barcelona will measure to double party to the Liverpool in the round of semifinals of the UEFA Champions League 2018-19, an eliminatory to which culés and 'reds' arrive after having deleted respectively to Manchester United (global of 4-0) and Carry (global of 6-1). On the paper the FC Barcelona is slightly favourite to the English, mainly by the fact to have in the staff to Leo Messi.

Throwing a glimpse to the precedents between both teams, however, fits to signal that they are not at all favourable to the Barcelona. And it is that, although the group culé has won in Anfield along his history, never has surpassed an eliminatory to double party in front of the Liverpool, something that also happened with the Manchester United until this past Tuesday.

Thrice it has remained matched the FC Barcelona with the Liverpool to double party, and those thrice has classified the English group for the following round. The first crossing between both dates of the UEFA 1975-76, with Laureano Ruiz in the bench after the dismissal of Hennes Weisweiler. The Liverpool won 0-1 in the Camp Nou (goal of Toshack), and the Barça empató 1-1 in Anfield (Thompson and Rexach).

In the UEFA 2000-01, in the round of semifinals, 0-0 in the Camp Nou and 1-0 in Anfield (McAllister, of penalti). And finally, in the Champions League 2006-07, 1-2 in Barcelona (Deco/Bellamy, Riise) and 0-1 in Anfield (Gudjohnsen). Always it played first in the Camp Nou and afterwards in Anfield, of the same way that sucederá this year in semifinals.

Where himself has achieved to win the FC Barcelona to the Liverpool is in the phase of groups. The Barça won in Anfield in the second phase of groups of the Champions 2001-02: 1-3, whereas in the Camp Nou empató: 0-0. This season 2018-19, the culés have between eyebrow and eyebrow conquer the Champions League, so they will leave the skin during the 180 minutes of the eliminatory.

The Liverpool, more fatigado that the Barça

They will explain besides with an appearance in favour, and is that the Liverpool is playing the title of Premier League with the Manchester City, and could arrive more fatigado of the normal, physical and mentally, to the parties of the eliminatory against the Barça. The ones of Valverde, by his part, could arrive to the party of gone of the next 1 May already with the title of LaLiga Santander in the pocket.
