MATCH! içinde 30-Apr-2019 için içindekiler tablosu

1. EUROPE’S GRAFTERS! Nobody expected Spurs to even get out of their group after winning just one point from their first nine, but they showed spirit and determination by drawing at the Nou Camp to get through to the knockouts! Then, against Man. City, they were pushed to the absolute limit, but dug deep and got through on away goals! 2. AWESOME ADAPTABILITY! Injuries to the likes of Harry Kane, Eric Dier, Harry Winks and Erik Lamela have tested Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, but they’ve stood up to the test! Victor Wanyama, Lucas Moura and Fernando Llorente all played a massive role in getting them over the line v City – and they’ll have a big part to play in the double header against Ajax as well! 3. BEATEN THE BEST!…

City, Roma and Napoli along the way... 2. IN-FORM FORWARDS! Barcelona might have the best attacker on the planet in Lionel Messi, but Liverpool probably have the most feared strikeforce in world footy! Sadio Mane is in the form of his life right now, while Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino have clicked into gear too! With 12 CL goals between them this season, Barça will be worried! 3. SAFE HANDS! The Reds lost two goals to keeper errors in last year’s Champo League…

NEWCASTLE V LIVERPOOL Can The Magpies scupper The Reds’ title hopes? In six seasons in charge of Liverpool, manager Rafa Benitez never won the Premier League, but he could have a big say on this season’s title race. The Newcastle boss has already helped out his old club by beating Man. City back in January, but he could put a serious dent in The Reds’ trophy hopes by winning here. Rafa hasn’t beaten Liverpool in five attempts since leaving Anfield – could this be the first time for him JORDAN HENDERSON The ex-Sunderland midfielder will get some stick from the Newcastle fans, but he can keep them quiet with abig display for his team!

United looked dangerous when they pressed Barça early on in their second leg, but the home side soon got into their rhythm – and then it’s really hard to stop them! They had over 65% possession in both ties v United, and average more possession than any team in this season’s tourno. It’s hard to win when you don’t have the ball... 3. MAGIC…
