Jurgen Klopp admitted Lionel Messi was
“unstoppable” on Wednesday after he left Liverpool needing a miracle to reach the Champions League final.
Klopp could only smile after Messi’s curling shot nestled in the top corner but this result was harsh on his side. Messi and Suarez did what they have done all season, their tallies now at 47 and 27 goals respectively in all competitions. “They can still make us suffer,” said Barca coach Ernesto Valverde. “The result is good but the tie is open.”Messi was already fresh, after playing just over half the La Liga minutes he could have done in April, and he looked sharp early on, weaving through the centre while for Liverpool, the sensational Sadio Mane raced down the left.
A minute later came the goal. Arturo Vidal sprayed the ball left to Philippe Coutinho, who cushioned back for Jordi Alba. Alba shaped to cross but instead curved a perfectly weighted pass to the near post, where Suarez nipped in. But Liverpool were re-energised at the start of the second half. Marc-Andre ter Stegen pushed away shots from Milner and Salah, and held a Milner drive.
