According to Owen, Liverpool will win against Barcelona at Anfield but the healthy lead will be a problem for the Reds as one goal will change the complexion of the match.

In case you didn’t know…

Barcelona inflicted a crushing 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals at the Camp Nou. Former Liverpool ace Luis Suarez opened the scoring in the 26th minute before Lionel Messi took matter in his own hands and scored a brace in the span of seven minutes.

The Reds were unable to score despite dominating proceedings in the second half. Mohamed Salah missed a sitter in the last few minutes of the game and overturning a 3-0 defeat will be an uphill task for Jurgen Klopp and his men. Moreover, key forwards like Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino will not feature in the tie due to injuries, which makes the job a lot harder for Liverpool.

Michael Owen needs no introduction. Owen scored 150 Premier League goals during his time in England. Owen won the Ballon d’Or in 2001 for his incredible performances and remains one of the best strikers to have ever played in England.

The heart of the matter

Owen predicted the result of crucial second leg clash between Liverpool and Barcelona.

Speaking in an interview, Owen said:

What’s next?

Liverpool will host Barcelona tonight at Anfield for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals.
