To THE DETAIL: comparative Analysis between the staff of FC Barcelona and Liverpool

The FC Barcelona is to four victories to go back to make history in the world of the football and seal his third triplete, which would turn it into the first club of the history in achieving it. After having fallen in chambers of the UEFA Champions League in the three last seasons, the Barcelona group goes back to be between the four better teams of Europe. In an edition that no for to give us surprises, the eliminatory that confronts to Leo Messi, Mohamed Salah and company is for many a final anticipated.

After having deleted to the Manchester United, the team of Valverde goes back to cross with another English team in his way to the conquest of the 'orejona'. In this case it goes to be the Liverpool of Klopp the one who try to brake to the culés. A team that is struggling by the Premier League with the Manchester City, and that it is the current runner-up of the prestigious European competition. A year after losing the final in front of the Real Madrid in Kiev, posits beside the FC Barcelona like the clear favourite to conquer the title.

Which reasons have both teams to consider favourite? To continuation analyse to the detail the suppositions onces headlines of both staff, position by position, for esclarecer to who will have in front the Barça in his way to the final of 1 June in Wanda Metropolitan.

We begin by the goal:

Sure that any of us has forgotten the blunders of Loris Karius in the last final of Kiev. His two errors prevented to the Liverpool carry the Glass of Europe, and from here that, the past summer, the goal of the English team renewed with the signing of the Brazilian Alisson Becker, ex goalkeeper of the Rome and guardameta title of the selection of Brazil. The year happened already was one of the guardametas more valued of the competition, and this course already has saved to the Liverpool in more than a party.

However, in the battle of goalkeepers Marc-André Ter Stegen has all the numbers to win the pulse, because of the excellent season that is completing. It left clean his goal in the previous eliminatory, and in eighth of final so only received a goal in front of the Olympique of Lyon. The guardameta German already is one of the basic pillars of the Barça, and his performance can be determinant in front of the 'reds'.

We follow with the defensive axis:

Beyond all doubt we can say that in this eliminatory find the two better head offices of the moment: Gerard Hammered and Virgil Go Dijk. In his first year without participating in the national selection, the central Catalan is showing to be the key piece in the defensive structure of the team, and is being determinant in the final stretch of season to brake the rival offensives. With Clément Lenglet forms the best defensive couple of LaLiga Santander; we will see if also in the best of Europe.

On the other hand, we find to the that for many already is the best defence of the world. The Dutch Go Dijk has not left to be an indispensable footballer in the eleven headline of Jürgen Klopp, since it arrived in the wintry market of the year happened to Anfield. Accompanied by Lovren (runner-up of the world) or Matip, the Liverpool can boast to have a good saga, although no to the level of the one of the Barça in speed and technical.

We happen to analyse to the sides:

In the left side the Barça has Jordi Alba, champion of Europe and the one who for many is the best in his demarcation. In the rival group the titularity argue it to him the Scottish Andrew Robertson and James Milner (that it also is used to to act like midfield player), in a duality of experience and jovial desparpajo.

The right side suffers the same case, but to the reverse: although in Anfield are accustomed to that Trent Alexander-Arnold was the headline of the team by in front of Joe Gómez; in Can Barça the titularity of this demarcation are it to him contesting continuously Sergi Roberto and Nélson Semedo. We could see how in Old Trafford the chosen was the luso, whereas in the Camp Nou was the one of Reus the one who obtained the titularity. Taking into account all the conditions, the Barça would win regarding experience and quality in the left side, whereas the right is more equalised.

We advance to the centre of the field:

So much Valverde like Klopp base his diagram in a defensive pivote accompanied of two midfield players, one of character more creative and another that occupies of the tasks that happen more unobserved, but that they are equal of important. Following the commented, can distinguish to three couples: the first would be the one who form Sergio Busquets, second captain of the team and an only player in his position, and Fabinho, the defensive pivote that arrived this pertinent summer of the Monaco, and that is generating a good performance. The one of Badia, in any case, wins the individual conflict.

Simultaneously, both teams renewed the creative piece of the centre of the field this summer. By part of the Liverpool with the arrival of Naby Keita, and by part of the Barça with Arthur Melo. It treats of two distinct profiles of footballers, the Brazilian with a lot of more technical with the balloon that the ex of the RB Leipzig, with more physicist but less talent.

Finally we find to Rakitic and to Henderson, that as we commented perhaps are not those that more dazzle on the lawn, but that definitely exert of 'glue' of the team to defensive and offensive level. The Barça comes off well with Rakitic in all the facets. It is necessary to have very in account to the 'do not titled' usual of the distinct staff: Arturo Vidal or Wijnaldum are acting of big quality, that also can be important in the denouement of the eliminatory if Valverde and Klopp give them minutes.

And those that mark the difference: the forwards

Before following, it is necessary to take into account that the FC Barcelona will split always like favourite by the simple fact to have the best player of the world and of the history, Leo Messi. Said this, there are more players that can be keys and that carry seasons showing that they are of the best in his position to world-wide level.

Mohamed Salah, the current third better player of the world according to the last prize FIFA The Best, is the big star of the Liverpool. unque Probably was not to the level of the past season, the Egyptian keeps on being the main threat for the defence culé.

In the Barça find to the one who for many is the best nine of the world, Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan will measure in front of his ex team and will try to break his drought goleadora in Europe. Another that goes back home is Coutinho. Signalled in the last months by the press and the fans culé, the Brazilian will try to show his value in front of the club that gave him the jump to the elite. This yes, Valverde also can opt by the speed and disequilibrium of Dembélé.

In the Liverpool the big incógnita is if it will be able to play Roberto Firmino, mediapunta reconverted to 'nine' that it is the big reference in the attack of the Liverpool beside Salah and his another mate tanteado by the Real Madrid, Sadio Mané. In the bench also find to Shaqiri, Sturridge and Origi. Definitely, a lot of gunpowder for so only two parties.

The eliminatory will be full of big stars of the world-wide football, that will struggle by a note to Wanda Metropolitan. We expect that it was the Barça who go up to this aeroplane, and that the speech of Leo Messi in the last Trophy Joan Gamper fulfil . To approach to this "copita beautiful", first will be necessary to do that the 'reds' bite the dust.
