Last season, it was Real Madrid that stopped Liverpool FC just short of yet another piece of European silverware. This term, it might be the other half of the El Clasico rivalry, FC Barcelona, who do them in. Liverpool are the only team that has advanced to the UEFA Champions League semifinals in both this tournament and last year’s but it’s the Catalan club that is favored to hoist the old big ears trophy when all is said and done.
Given how Barca has turned their Catalonian home into an absolute fortress this term, it’s easy to see why most prognosticators are backing the Blaugrana to best the Merseyside club tomorrow night.
