The second instalment of Liverpool's clash with Barcelona takes place on Tuesday, with the Spanish side on the verge of the Champions League final following a 3-0 victory at Camp Nou in the first leg.
Lionel Messi was the star of the show on that occasion, scoring twice - one a spectacular free kick - to add to Luis Suarez's opener against his former side.
Liverpool's task of turning the tie around is made all the harder by injuries. Jurgen Klopp confirmed on Monday that forward duo Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah will both miss the tie, while midfielder Naby Keita is ruled out after picking up an injury during the defeat in Spain.
